Busboys and Poets Books Presents THE GENERAL’S SON
Join us to learn about the journey of an Israeli in Palestine.
Author Miko Peled, writes about his transformational experiences as a young man who'd grown up in the heart of Israel's elite. He served proudly in its military as a fearless advocate of nonviolent struggle and equal rights for all Palestinians and Israelis. His journey is mirrored in many ways the transformation his father, a much-decorated Israeli general, had undergone three decades earlier. Alice Walker contributed a foreword to the first edition in which she wrote. "There are few books on the Israel/Palestine issue that seem as hopeful to me as this one."
Miko Peled is joining on the Busboys stage for a celebration event, joined in conversation by Katie Halper. This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 5:00 pm, and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Copies of The General’s Son will be available for purchase before and during the event.
We ask that guests RSVP in order to receive direct updates about the event from Busboys and Poets Books.
