Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The young man in the new suit was trying to look purposeful, but his composure was a bluff.

The war was barely six weeks old, but the distance between alive and dead had already become negligible. #2 The National Council is doing everything it can to help the country, and understands the responsibility it bears on the road to saving the homeland and liberating it from all enemies. #3 The city of Haifa, which was the first Arab city to be conquered by the Israeli army, has preserved a record of Arab Haifa in the Hagana archives. The files contain details about the streets as Yussef would have seen them in 1948, the workers' hangouts near the port, the beggars reading passages from the Quran, and so on. #4 The most dangerous move was to run, so Yussef parried the questions as best he could until the suspicious man stalked off around a corner. Three weeks earlier, a Hagana team tapped Arab phone lines and recorded an urgent conversation between two members of the Arab militia in Jaffa.
