Author Elon Perry uniquely combines the narrative of a challenging childhood amidst wartime struggles with the gripping tale of military service in a commando unit. Children in War is a story about vulnerable and helpless children at the mercy of bloodthirsty pompous leaders, who perpetually endanger them through bloody conflicts. It is about courage and survival against apparently overwhelming odds; a childhood in the shadow of continual war and severe poverty, under the terrifying threat of war, relentless danger, and fear. Children who find themselves living in constant anxiety, unable to play freely in their own yard for fear of sirens and shells. This is the story of millions of children around the world who are trapped in war zones, spending days and nights in shelters, instead of enjoying their days in schools and parks. Innocent children, who were forced to live in extreme deprivation due to the depletion of the state budget caused by the war efforts. Children who suffer from severe emotional and psychological trauma and frequently witness images and situations that will remain forever in their memory. The following story is based on real events and is accompanied by original photographs taken at the time of the events described in the book. It is narrated by a boy who lived his childhood and youth under fire, but when he grows up, joins a commando unit to take revenge on the enemy who robbed him of a normal and calm childhood. A little boy who could not comprehend the link between war and the lack of food, toys, and chocolate. This story can be an inspiration to people who find themselves in desperate situations. They can learn how against all odds and in any given situation one can survive difficulties, as long as one has the will, perseverance, and belief that anything is possible.

Autorenporträt
Elon Perry MA is a historian, military analyst and lecturer on the 4,000 years of the history and politics of the Middle East, including the 100 years of the Israeli/Arab/Palestinian conflict. Elon was a journalist for 25 years, and served as a combat soldier in the Israeli army. As a commando, Elon took in hundreds of daring counter terror operations in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon. This unique pairing has enabled his audiences to gain firsthand knowledge of operations and battles in a precise and analytical manner. From 1998 to 2014, Elon was a political science and history professor at Tel Aviv University. As a terror specialist and military analyst, he took part in several documentaries and has been interviewed by numerous international media outlets, including BBC, Sky, Al-Jazeera, and more. Elon was born and raised in Netivot, southern Israel, 3 km from Gaza's border. His early years were spent mostly in shelters during a protracted conflict with Israel's neighboring Arab nations. This traumatic, paralysing experience inspired him to enlist as a commando in the Israeli army in order to avenge the enemy that had ruined his childhood and youth. Elon speaks English, Hebrew and Arabic. He is a British citizen and lives in London.
