SUMMARY:Author Talk with Yardena Schwartz: Ghosts of a Holy War: The 1929 M
 assacre in Palestine that Ignited the Arab-Israeli Conflict
DESCRIPTION:When a family in Memphis\, Tennessee\, discovers a box of centu
 ry-old letters in their attic\, a journey begins: not only to learn about 
 the young man who wrote the letters from the holy city of Hebron in Britis
 h Mandate Palestine\, but about the massacre that took his life in 1929. A
 ward-winning journalist Yardena Schwartz draws from these letters\, along 
 with extensive research and wide-ranging interviews of Israelis and Palest
 inians now living in Hebron\, to tell a timely\, captivating narrative. By
  illuminating the echoes of 1929 in Hamas’s massacre of October 7\, 2023
 \, Schwartz vividly illustrates how little has changed—and how much of o
 ur perspective must change if peace is ever to come to this tortured land 
 and its people\, who are destined to share it.\n\nYardena Schwartz is an a
 ward-winning journalist and Emmy-nominated producer who has worked at ABC 
 News\, NBC News and MSNBC. Based in Israel from 2013-2023\, her reporting 
 from four continents has been featured in dozens of publications\, includi
 ng The New York Times\, New York Review of Books\, Time\, The Economist\, 
 Foreign Policy\, The Wall Street Journal\, and National Geographic. She gr
 aduated with honors from Columbia Journalism School in 2011\, received an 
 Emmy nomination for her work at MSNBC in 2013\, and was awarded the 2016 R
 NA award for excellence in magazine reporting. Yardena now lives in Warwic
 k with her husband and children. Ghosts of a Holy War is her first book.\n
