The Fight for Jerusalem
Jerusalem: center of faith—or apocalyptic trigger?

Radical Islam has long desired to seize Jerusalem and cut it off to Christian and Jewish believers. In his revealing new book, The Fight for Jerusalem, bestselling author and former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Dore Gold explains why the battle for Jerusalem is intensifying today. Gold shows why only Israel can preserve its holy places for Christians, Jews, and even Muslims, and why uncovering Jerusalem's past-and the truth of biblical history-can be the key to saving its future.

Terror
How Israel Has Coped and What America Can Learn

No country has experienced more acts of terrorism over a prolonged period than Israel. The frequency of attacks has propelled Israel toward innovative methods to address the threat. Indeed, treating so many victims of physical and psychological trauma has given rise to the new field of terror medicine.

In a gripping narrative, terrorist expert Leonard A. Cole describes how different segments of Israeli society have coped with terrorism-survivors of attacks, families of victims, emergency responders, doctors and nurses, and, in the end, the general population.

He also interviews Palestinians, including imprisoned handlers of suicide bombers, who endorse or deplore suicide bombings. He concludes that the Israeli experience with preparedness and coping offers valuable lessons for the United States.

Terror in Black September

When David Raab boarded his flight from Israel to New York on the morning of September 6, 1970, he was 17 years old, and he had no idea that his life was about to change forever. David’s plane was hijacked by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine as part of a quadruple hijacking attempt on that historic day. TERROR IN BLACK SEPTEMBER is Raab’s gripping account of the time he spent as a hostage in Jordan, and the first eyewitness documentation of one of the most significant acts of terror prior to September 11th.

With a combination of personal anecdotes from Raab’s recollections of the ordeal, and little-known facts obtained from recently opened archives in Washington, London and Jerusalem, Raab’s story fuses the intimacy of a memoir with an impeccable historical account. Raab’s day to day account of his survival and release is a crucial contribution to the current discourse on terrorism, international diplomacy, and how they affect the innocent civilians who become embroiled in these dangerous situations.
