A Fateful Encounter is a novel set in the days following the UN resolution to establish a Jewish state in the Land of Israel, which the Arabs are determined to prevent. Abd al-Qader al-Husseini, the leader of the Arab gangs in the Jerusalem area, seeks to stamp out the Jewish presence in Jerusalem and imposes a siege to prevent supplies from reaching them. David, a young and bold fighter, wages war against al-Husseini and his gangs, drawing on his experience as a partisan commander in the woods of Belarus and as a combatant against the British, who have tried to block the creation of a Jewish state. Devotedly assisting him is his beloved and beautiful Shoshana, also a skilled fighter. Against this fascinating historical backdrop, the reader accompanies David and Shoshana on their bold missions and is captivated by their moving and dramatic love story. This is EHUD DISKIN’s third book, following his autobiography Yes, It’s Possible and his bestseller Lone Wolf in Jerusalem, which also recounts the exploits of David and Shoshana.
