The more he learns about the \"Oslo peace process\" between the Israelis and the Palestinians, the less sense it makes. But he has no idea that within two years his growing personal involvement in the conflict will change his life profoundly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrank, a Vietnam veteran, is of the old school. He sees no more need for journalistic \"balance\" than Edward R. Murrow showed for the Germans during the Blitz. His blunt and impassioned support for Israel during the terror war of 2000-2005 puts him at odds with his bosses and drives a wedge between himself and those closest to him. But he finds a new friend-and possible lover-in Lieutenant Colonel Dahlia Tamir, an Israeli army psychologist whose passion for peace prompts her to make a terrible, tragic mistake. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCynthia Ozick says: \"A brave novel will decline to neuter itself by the unworthy yet commonplace belief that the purpose of political fiction is to 'understand' hatred. Louis Marano has given us a consummately brave novel.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louis Marano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503289796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503289796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.59d","brand":"Louis Marano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459093278975,"sku":"9781503289796","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41f123ad-d943-489e-afb6-52d747a3074d.jpg?v=1777407945","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tribalist-louis-marano-9781503289796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
