ISBN:  9780771036903 (hc.) Alternate title:  Pumpkin flowers : an Israeli soldier's story Description:  x, 242 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  From the Canadian-Israeli author Matti Friedman, the true story of a band of young soldiers, the author among them, charged with holding one remote outpost in Lebanon, a task that changed them forever and foreshadowed today's unwinnable conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. It was small hilltop in a small, unnamed war in the late 1990s. The hill was called the Pumpkin; flowers was the military code word for casualties. Harrowing wartime experiences, part frontlines memoir, part journalistic reporting, part military history. The years in question were pivotal ones, and not just for Israel. They saw the perfection of a type of warfare that would eventually be exported to Afghanistan and Iraq. The new twenty-first century war is one in which there is never any clear victor, and not enough lives are lost to rally the public against it. Eventually Israel would come to realize that theirs was a losing proposition and pull out. But, of course, by then these soldiers--those who had survived--and the country had been wounded in ways large and small. An unflinching look at the way we conduct war today. Matti Friedman is the author of The Aleppo Codex: A True Story of Obsession, Faith, and the Pursuit of an Ancient Bible (2012). Friedman has worked as a correspondent in the Jerusalem bureau of the Associated Press news agency, where he specialized in religion and archaeology. Friedman grew up in Toronto, moved to Israel as a teenager, and served three years in the Israeli military. He is the author of the 2014 online article "What the Media Gets Wrong About Israel" available from theatlantic.com website. Matti Friedman lives in Jerusalem. Genre:  Memoirs.
