Subject: [ha-Safran]: New at Gefen: Sane in Damascus By Amnon Sharon
Dear Librarians
New at Gefen: Sane in Damascus By Amnon Sharon
Price: $14.95
Paperback * 160pp * ISBN 965-229-367-9 *
Publish Date: May 2006
A story of sacrifice and heroism, Sane in
Damascus tells the compelling and engaging tale
of Amnon Sharon, an officer in the Israel Defense
Forces who fell captive during the Yom Kippur War
of 1973 and was held in a Syrian prison for eight long months.
In his book, Sharon details the brutal treatment
and interrogations that he experienced in prison.
Though Sharon was tortured, though he had no idea
what was happening, he held strong through the
power of prayer and faith. In his heart he
believed that God could save him, that there
would be some way out he never gave up. And
despite four months of solitary confinement
during which the only human faces he saw were
those of his torturers, he held onto sanity,
living for the day when he could return to his pregnant wife and young son.
The book Sane in Damascus is an unforgettable
documentation of determination and willpower and
the ultimate display of strength against a
fearful enemy. This book is dedicated to the
memory of the soldiers who were willing to
sacrifice their lives in order to save the State
of Israel in one of the most difficult periods in her history.
Author Amnon Sharon, a colonel in the Israel
Defense Force, born in 1947 to Holocaust
survivors within double rows of barbed wire in a
detention camp in Cyprus, believes that by
exposing his personal experiences and his
determination to withstand the difficulties of
imprisonment, he may serve as an inspiration to
others to survive through the means of strength and faith.
