  <description><![CDATA[<strong>The author has built knowledge into artistic fiction. <em>The New York Times Book Review</em></strong><br/> <br/>Elisha is a young Jewish man, a Holocaust survivor, and an Israeli freedom fighter in British-controlled Palestine; John Dawson is the captured English officer he will murder at dawn in retribution for the British execution of a fellow freedom fighter. The night-long wait for morning and death provides <em>Dawn</em>, Elie Wiesel's ever more timely novel, with its harrowingly taut, hour-by-hour narrative. Caught between the manifold horrors of the past and the troubling dilemmas of the present, Elisha wrestles with guilt, ghosts, and ultimately God as he waits for the appointed hour and his act of assassination. <em>Dawn</em> is an eloquent meditation on the compromises, justifications, and sacrifices that human beings make when they murder other human beings.<br/>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Two men wait through the night in British-controlled Palestine for dawn--and for death.  One is a captured English officer.  The other is Elisha, a young Israeli freedom fighter whose assignment is to kill the officer in reprisal for Britain's execution of a Jewish prisoner.  Elisha's past is the nightmare memory of Nazi death camps.  He is the only surviving member of his family.  His future is a cherished dream of life in the promised homeland.  But at daybreak his present will become the tortured reality of a principled man ordered to commit cold-blooded murder.  Resonant with feeling, <em>Dawn</em> is an unforgettable journey into the human heart--and an eloquent statement about the moral basis of the new Israel.&quot;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A simple story of a young Jewish freedom fighter, before the state of Israel, who is required to execute a British soldier. At the time, Palestine was occupied by the British army. The Jewish soldier meditates about patriotism and honor and duty and truth when he is forced to murder a stranger.

    <![CDATA[<strong>“The author…has built knowledge into artistic fiction.”—<em>The New York Times Book Review</em></strong><br/><br/>Elisha is a young Jewish man, a Holocaust survivor, and an Israeli freedom fighter in British-controlled Palestine; John Dawson is the captured English officer he will murder at dawn in retribution for the British execution of a fellow freedom fighter. The night-long wait for morning and death provides <em>Dawn</em>, Elie Wiesel’s ever more timely novel, with its harrowingly taut, hour-by-hour narrative. Caught between the manifold horrors of the past and the troubling dilemmas of the present, Elisha wrestles with guilt, ghosts, and ultimately God as he waits for the appointed hour and his act of assassination. <em>Dawn</em> is an eloquent meditation on the compromises, justifications, and sacrifices that human beings make when they murder other human beings.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>“The author…has built knowledge into artistic fiction.”—<em>The New York Times Book Review</em></strong><br/><br/>Elisha is a young Jewish man, a Holocaust survivor, and an Israeli freedom fighter in British-controlled Palestine; John Dawson is the captured English officer he will murder at dawn in retribution for the British execution of a fellow freedom fighter. The night-long wait for morning and death provides <em>Dawn</em>, Elie Wiesel’s ever more timely novel, with its harrowingly taut, hour-by-hour narrative. Caught between the manifold horrors of the past and the troubling dilemmas of the present, Elisha wrestles with guilt, ghosts, and ultimately God as he waits for the appointed hour and his act of assassination. <em>Dawn</em> is an eloquent meditation on the compromises, justifications, and sacrifices that human beings make when they murder other human beings.]]>
