By Trey Yingst An unfiltered account of the October 7th attack on Israel and the war in Gaza.

We are reading this at the same time. It is a powerful book and he does not candy coat anything.

Bless you for reading it. That book would be an exceedingly difficult read for me. Maybe someday I will.

For another account of 10/7, I highly recommend The Gates of Gaza by Amir Tibon, an Israeli journalist. He and his family were in their home in a kibbutz near the Gaza border when their kibbutz was invaded by terrorists. Perhaps you saw him and his wife giving their first person account, including their rescue by Amir's father, on "60 Minutrs" ? The book also includes some regional history.
