The Drone Eats with Me: A Gaza Diary - Atef Abu Saif

nAn ordinary Gazan's devastating contemporary war journal that chronicles his struggle to survive Israel's invasion of Gaza (Michael Ondaatje, author of The English Patient) n The Drone Eats with Me is an unforgettable rendering of everyday civilian life shattered by the realities of twenty-first-century warfare. Israel's 2014 invasion of Gaza lasted 51 days, killed 2,145 Palestinians (578 of them children), injured over 11,000 people, and demolished more than 17,000 homes. n nAtef Abu Saif, a young father and novelist, puts an indelibly human face on these statistics, providing a rare window into the texture of a community and the realities of a conflict that is too often obscured by politics.n
