Produktbeschreibung
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. The book differs from other books on the subject because the plot revolves around two themes: a difficult and impoverished childhood during times of war, and military service in a commando unit, carried out with the aim of exacting revenge on the enemy and featuring vivid and detailed descriptions of battles. In the book, real stories and events are infused, including daring operations from the battlefield. Some of these accounts have never before been published, and only today, 40 years after the events, has the Israeli censorship allowed them to be shared. 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.
