The General's Son: An Israeli's Journey in Palestine

Miko Peled, an Israeli-American, experienced a tragedy in 1997 when his niece Smadar was killed by a suicide bomber in Jerusalem. This event prompted Peled to embark on a journey of self-discovery, causing him to re-evaluate the beliefs he was raised on as the son and grandson of prominent figures in Israel's political and military elite. This transformative experience led him to become a courageous and visionary activist, advocating for human rights and working towards a hopeful and enduring peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

In his book, The General's Son, Peled recounts his upbringing in Jerusalem, at the epicenter of the group that governed the young nation of Israel. He shares the evolution of his belief in peace between the two peoples who call the Holy Land home. Additionally, he provides heartfelt depictions of the Palestinian and Israeli peace activists he has collaborated with in recent years. Peled's narrative offers insights into the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the inspiring individuals who are dedicated to finding a resolution.
