Book Description

PPU, Tel Aviv, nd. Octavo in wraps, 152 pp. Published in Hebrew as Koortov Shel Mavet, translated into English by Louis Williams. This novel takes place in September of 1973--no date is given on copyright page. A glance at the volume shows it to be strangely prophetic of 9/11, not only because of the title, but also because of the cover illustration: a jet taking off with a rising sun with an Arab face in the background. The back cover presents a brief synopsis which also seems prophetic: "Beware the Ides of September. In the Middle East, a battle rages, a battle that could be the opening of World War III. The victories are incomplete and the gains temporary. It is a battle that lets no man remain indifferent." The novel is a tale of international intrigue and terrorism, framed by a crash of an airliner at the beginning and the invasion of Israel by Arab forces at the end. Throughout the text there are frequent references to "Black September". VG with traces of sticker removal on the cover and some yellowing to wraps. Very unusual, and also very scarce ( no listings anywhere).
