About Lee Yaron: Lee Yaron is an award-winning Israeli journalist. Her investigative journalism on corruption, social justice, and climate change has prompted the establishment of state-level commissions and driven changes in Israeli policy and law. This work earned her the 2022 Yitzhak Livni "Knight" Award for Free Speech in Media. She serves as an elected member-representative on the Executive Committee of the Union of Israeli Journalists. Yaron was selected for the prestigious 2025 Forbes 30 under 30 list and is the youngest recipient of the Book of the Year award from the National Jewish Book Awards.

About the Book: A radically passionate work of investigative journalism and political critique by acclaimed Haaretz reporter Lee Yaron, 10/7 chronicles the massacre that ignited a war through the stories of more than 100 civilians. These stories are the products of extensive interviews with survivors, the bereaved, and first responders in Israel and beyond. The victims run the gamut from left-wing kibbutzniks and Burning Man-esque partiers to radical right-wingers, from Bedouins and Israeli Arabs to Thai and Nepalese guest workers, peace activists, elderly Holocaust survivors, refugees from Ukraine and Russia, pregnant women, and babies. Yaron profiles victims from a wide range of communities―depicting the fullness of their lives, not just their final moments―to honor their memories and reveal the way the attack ripped open Israeli society and put the entire Middle East on the precipice of disaster. Each chapter begins with a portrait of a community, interweaving history with broader political analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to provide context for the narratives that follow.
