The Eyes of Gaza: A Diary of Resilience

"This book haunts you long after you put it down. It includes the author’s diaries, as well as her photographs and reporting following the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, offering a clear, intimate and deeply affecting account of the first 45 days of Israel’s deadly campaign in Gaza. It’s a deceptively easy read, but one you’ll want to savor, linger over and return to in thought. Plestia Alaqad’s writing makes the unimaginable feel immediate and impossible to ignore. This book is one of the most important books of our time – essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza."
