the Attack is a novel of the Algerian author Yasmina Khadra (Mohammed Moulessehoul of its true name).

History

Amin is a Arab Israeli who succeeded, it has a good work as surgeon, is well integrated in Israel and lives happy with his wife, Sihem. One day, a woman kamikaze explodes herself in a crammed restaurant of Tel-Aviv. Amin spends its day to operate the many victims of the attack. One recalls it to the hospital right in the middle of the night to announce to him that the kamikaze was his wife. All the happiness of Amin is of a blow called into question. After a phase of incredulity, Amin undertakes to include/understand the gesture of his wife, which will take it along in the middle of the Palestinian cities devastated by the war, in the strongholds of the terrorists and will oblige it to look opposite a conflict that it had made a success of until being unaware of there, to being confonté with a logic which is foreign for him.

Topics approached

Several topics around the israélo-Palestinian Conflit are approached like the sometimes difficult relations between Israeli and unquestionable Arabic Jewish Israeli, in particular the police force and especially the Palestinian feeling of humiliation, compost of the extremism.
