The Debba by Avner Mandelman

4.0

I'm really glad I read this one. It's a decent mystery/thriller (quite a few twists & turns & there are plenty of various military/police/secret ops groups in here!), but more interesting to me are the history/questions/issues it raises about Israelis & Palestinians -- from the 1940s through the 1970s (when the book is set). I'd definitely recommend it if you are interested in the history & politics of the area. The book also fit in nicely with my Banned Books reading as it revolves around a controversial play that is to be staged & the various efforts made to quash the production of the play.
