The events of 7 October changed the face of the Middle East forever. In this book, the author explains what happened and why in a series of vignettes that recount the events of that day, their background and their consequences from the perspective of all those involved: Hamas fighters, IDF soldiers, hostages and civilians on both sides of the conflict. With unprecedented access to politicians, intelligence officials, soldiers, militants and civilians, the author draws on interviews, official documents and his own experiences to answer difficult but important questions: How and why did Hamas plan the attacks? Why was Israel taken by surprise? Why did so many Israelis die that day? Why were so many Palestinians killed during the subsequent military action? Each chapter offers a different perspective a separate narrative that contributes to a story greater than the sum of its parts: both personal and of profound historical significance.
