About This Book

A first-person wartime memoir recounts life under military rule in Palestine, detailing civic tensions, searches for hidden arms, arrests, and physical abuse of detainees. It follows encounters with occupying officers and the influence of foreign powers, and it records military logistics and campaigns alongside everyday struggles such as road-building, locust plagues, and market life. Interwoven with vivid sketches of towns, landscapes, and local characters are personal attempts to protect family and community and reflections on endurance, fear, and the persistent hope of restoring the land.
