This book is a well-written account of the first 50 days of the current Israel-Hamas war. The author seamlessly ties in history, pop culture and other world events and shows the relevance and connection to the ongoing conflict. The writing is raw and real and the emotions come across on every page. Highly recommended reading for a recap on how it all started and how it's going.
