'When the Bulbul Stopped Singing: Life in Palestine during an Israeli Siege' by Raja Shehadeh with a new introduction by Colum McCann. The Israeli army invaded Ramallah in March 2002. A tank stood at the end of Raja Shehadeh's road; Israeli soldiers patrolled from the roof-tops. Four soldiers took over his brother's apartment and then used him as a human shield as they went through the building, while his wife tried to keep her composure for the sake of their frightened children, ages four and six. This book is an account of what it is like to be under siege...reveals universal and timeless truths.
