Reviews

Advance Praise for While Israel Slept ""A shocking, detailed, and gripping investigation of the Israeli catastrophe of Oct. 7, 2023, by two of the country's best journalists. A necessary book for anyone hoping to begin figuring out what happened and how to ensure it doesn't happen again."" --Matti Friedman, author of Spies of No Country and Pumpkinflowers ""A clear-eyed post mortem... Not only are the recommendations critical for Israel's security but the warning about the cost of a divided nation is grist for America as well."" --Wendy Sherman, former U.S. deputy secretary of state ""How could it happen? While Israel Slept tells the gripping, painful story of what led to Israel's failures on October 7- and what must be done to prevent it from ever happening again."" --Elliott Abrams, former U.S. deputy national security adviser and special representative for Iran ""This searing, sobering, eye-opening book is necessary reading for anyone who wants to understand what happened on October 7 and why -- and for everyone who cares about Israel's future."" --Sarah Hurwitz, author of Here All Along, former White House speechwriter
