IN THE FIELD

“Immersive, compassionate reporting.”–Chip Scanlan, author of “Writers at Work”

More than any issue, the Gaza war has split the world into two camps, with seemingly no middle ground.

In “The Holy Land at War,” longtime journalist Mark Patinkin captures the stories of both sides, talking with people in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza itself.

“The Holy Land at War” is not a political analysis but a personal odyssey – one writer’s attempt to bear witness through those touched by this long conflict, Jews and Arabs sentenced together by history and geography.

Mark Patinkin, shown here recently in Ramallah on the West Bank, is a longtime author and Providence Journal columnist who has covered world events in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, India and Eastern Europe.
