About the Book:

Already a best seller in Europe, Ha’aretz journalist Lee Yaron’s “10/7: 100 Human Stories” delivers a new perspective of the October 7th attacks through the stories of 100 victims and the border communities they called home, some families tracing back two or three generations on those “Gaza Envelope” kibbutzim. Based on hundreds of interviews with the survivors, the bereaved, and first responders, Lee offers a definitive account of 10/7 within the context of the history of Israel. Through interviews with the civilians who served as Israel’s frontline of defense, those who lived, those who fought with heroism and those who died or were kidnapped on that “Dark Shabbat”, the book offers a passionate account of that day.

At a time when so many of us are seeking a deeper understanding of the meaning, impact and pain of that tragic day, Lee’s work offers a fresh “people’s history” view. Rather than focusing on politicians and military officers, Lee’s writing illuminates the everyday people living precariously on the Israel-Gaza border, combining oral history techniques with rigorous investigative journalism.
