The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine. Miko Peled. The story dispels the myths created by Israeli society that are used to sustain its posturing domestically and with its foreign policy. The first covers the life of Matti Peled and his strong criticisms of Israeli actions, in particular after the 1967 war. These narrative themes carry through The Road to Palestine, the third part of the book concerning his personal involvement and development within the Palestinian peace movement.
