More copies of this ISBN:Revenge: A Story of Hopeby Laura Blumenfeld
Synopses & ReviewsFrom Powells.com: "Revenge helps answer the question, who are you? You are what you're
willing to avenge," Laura Blumenfeld explained to Salon.com. A decade
after her father, an American rabbi visiting Jerusalem, was shot and almost
killed, Blumenfeld set out to find the man behind the attack. After locating
the shooter, an active terrorist with a radical faction of the PLO, she
wrote to him in prison without revealing her identity; investigated the
surrounding community, both Israeli and Palestinian; and, uneasily, came
to spend time with the shooter's family. Blumenfeld also interviewed hundreds
of people, from Sicily to Egypt, prime ministers to prostitutes, to gain
context and understanding of the motivations for redress. Her startling
and moving conclusions rival the best in suspense fiction. In Revenge:
A Story of Hope, Blumenfeld, a reporter for the Washington Post,
combines a journalist's sense of story with a daughter's grief and compassion.
Exploring the delicate tangle of vengeance and forgiveness, Blumenfeld looks
deep into the darker — but omnipresent — impulses of politics,
family, and love. Jill, Powells.com Review:"Laura Blumenfeld is the rare journalist whose prose is as elegant and engaging as her reporting is gritty and intrepid — one of the outstanding and most original voices of her generation." Tony Horwitz, author of Confederates in the Attic and Baghdad Without a Map About the AuthorLaura Blumenfeld holds a master's degree in international affairs from Columbia University and has been a staff writer at The Washington Post since 1992.
