"Revelatory." - The New York Times "Fascinating, hilarious, terrifying. . . . The journey is riveting and well-wrought in a book that makes clear the confusing mess that is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict."- The Chicago Tribune "Sensitive, forthright and perceptive . . . . A forceful reminder of how rewarding, and how difficult, discourse between Israelis and Palestinians can be."- The Washington Post "Sharply observed and beautifully written. . . . A bracingly clear-eyed, deeply emotional and often humorous account. . . . Prisoners offers no easy answers but manages to inspire the rarest of commodities in the Middle East: hope." - Los Angeles Times, "Revelatory." --"The New York Times" "Fascinating, hilarious, terrifying. . . .

"Prisoners" offers no easy answers but manages to inspire the rarest of commodities in the Middle East: hope." --"Los Angeles Times", "Revelatory . . . [Goldberg is] talented and ambitious . . . A tale far more grim than hopeful and, in that sense, a useful primer on why things seem so pessimistic just now. And yet, the final encounter between Mr. Hijazi [the Palestinian prisoner Goldberg guards] and Mr. Goldberg has a poignancy and power that bar utter despair. For the bittersweet complexity of that moment, offered in the context of all that has preceded it, this is a genuinely admirable book." -The New York Times "Sensitive, forthright and perceptive . . . a forceful reminder of how rewarding, and how difficult, discourse between Israelis and Palestinians can be." -The Washington Post "Sharply observed and beautifully written . . . a bracingly clear-eyed, deeply emotional and often humorous account of his life as an American Jew in love with Israel." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "Goldberg's sensitive portrayal of the nuances of his freighted relationship . . . gives soul and depth toPrisoners, a vivid account of the passions and prejudices, the tensions and terrors that exist in every camp, and every household, in today's volatile Middle East." -Francine Prose,O: The Oprah Magazine "A rich, large-hearted and melancholy political bildungsroman . . . The author has a novelistic gift for conjuring the optimism of the Oslo era, which makes the nihilistic nosedive of the second Intifada even more searing. But whilePrisonersis a story of multiple disenchantments, there's a defiant hopefulness about ita faith, despite too much evidence to the contrary, that individual human understanding can transcend historic hatreds." -The New York Observer "Chilling . . . Goldberg escapes predictability by tunneling past received notions and antique resentments." -St. Petersburg Times "Brilliant . . . Perhaps the best on-the-ground portrait since Thomas Friedman'sFrom Beirut to Jerusalemof the hatreds, passions, and illusions gripping the contemporary Middle East . . . Those familiar with his work . . . will recognize the skills that have made him one of America's finest foreign correspondents: an eye for detail, a flair for story-telling, an unflinching self regard, and a measured tone that lends his work an air of authenticity and authority . . . breathtaking." -Washington Monthly "One of the finest journalists of his generation . . . a classic coming of age story . . . [Goldberg has] a magnificent sense of irony, timing, and surprise . . . Ketzoit was a desert prison in which Israel held Palestinian Arabs and in which Mr. Goldberg, during his days in the IDF, had served as a military policeman. Mr. Goldberg's description of this prison is worthy of Kafka and will no doubt end up on a shelf where classics of the genre are kept . . . [Goldberg is] one of the most eloquent narrators of the struggle in which new leaders arise in every generation." -The New York Sun "Fascinating . . . an intimate portrait. . . he takes us somewhere we usually don't go . . . [a] brave and relentlessly honest new memoir." -The Forward "Jeffrey Goldberg has done the impossiblefound some hope in the rubble of the Middle East.Prisonerswill bring you to tears." Malcolm Gladwell "This brutal, beautiful book about the discovery of decency in an indecent war is morally refreshing. With vivacious candor, Jeffrey Goldberg describes the unexpected refinement of his identity by an encounter with his enemy. The story of his unsentimental education is not only deeply heartening, it is also deeply Jewish.&, "Revelatory." -The New York Times "Fascinating, hilarious, terrifying. . . .

Synopsis
During the first Palestinian uprising in 1990, Jeffrey Goldberg - an American Jew - served as a guard at the largest prison camp in Israel. One of his prisoners was Rafiq, a rising leader in the PLO. Overcoming their fears and prejudices, the two men began a dialogue that, over more than a decade, grew into a remarkable friendship. Now an award-winning journalist, Goldberg describes their relationship and their confrontations over religious, cultural, and political differences; through these discussions, he attempts to make sense of the conflicts in this embattled region, revealing the truths that lie buried within the animosities of the Middle East., During the first Palestinian uprising in 1990, Jeffrey Goldberg an American Jew served as a guard at the largest prison camp in Israel.
