It is not every day that one of the world...Graham<br /><br /><br />It is not every day that one of the world's experts on terrorism and war, involved with Israeli and U.S. security for 30 years writes a novel. (and the Australian bush fires). So, maybe your story would be about my work on terrorism AND this novel. A different kind of angle. I would of course be glad to be interviewed, live or otherwise.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> To check my veracity, you can google my last name (Hobfoll) and I believe the hits will be about 50,000. I just mention that to verify that this is not an email from some kook. Also, I attach an article that featured my work in the Israeli Newspaper Maariv, as I am one of the world's foremost experts on the stress of war and terrorism, especially in the Middle East.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The novel is a Jewish adventure story, based loosely on my grandfather's early years in Poland and Russia from 1906 (the Failed 1st Russian Revolution) to 1921. It is also a book about the challenge that men face in the world, as "imperfect guardians." History has tried to rewrite Jewish life as always pious and religious. But before coming to America Jews were involved in every part of the world in which they lived, horse traders, revolutionary leaders, scoundrels, soldiers, intellectuals, peddlers, gangsters, and doctors. The novel is very much about that variegated life. <br /><br /> <br /><br />I would be most happy to send you a copy of the book for review.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The book's webpage is:<br /><br /> <br /><br />http://www.theimperfectguardian.com/Profstevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14104914194675252444noreply@blogger.com
