Revenge: A Story of Hope (Abridged)
In 1986, Laura Blumenfeld's father was shot in Jerusalem by a member of a rebel faction of the PLO responsible for attacks on several tourists in the Old City. Her father lived, but Blumenfeld's desire for revenge haunted her. This is her story.
Traveling to Israel, Blumenfeld gathers stories and methods of avengers as she plots to infiltrate the shooter's life. Through interviews and extensive research, she explores the mechanics and the psychology of vengeance.
But ultimately it is a journey that leads her back home -- where she is forced to confront her childhood dreams, her parents' failed marriage, and her ideas about family. In the end, her target turns out to be more complex -- and in some ways more threatening -- than the stereotypical terrorist she'd long imagined.
A rare, ambitious, personal, and intellectual tour of dark urges often denied, Revenge: A Story of Hope is a beautifuly written story about family, loyalty, and home, about the personal passions behind public events, and about the thin line between love and hate.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

From the reviews:

"This book is appropriate for laboratories with an interest in the biology of microtubules … . Each chapter is nicely illustrated, well referenced, and offers a timely evaluation of what is known about tubulin and microtubules, including how they are targeted therapeutically. … The color insert and the accompanying CD-ROM with all color figures are helpful. This is an excellent all-around reference appropriate for researchers or clinicians interested in the basic science of tubulins, microtubules, related diseases, and targeted therapy."(John D. Robertson, Doody’s Review Service, January, 2009)

“This book offers a wide and detailed discussion of drugs and methods for studying tubulins and microtubules … . The book is easy-reading and well organized by … well-detailed and itemized methodology of study, a helpful conclusion including tips for future interested investigators, and a long list of references serving a specific source of search. … Chapters added in the end of the book … very nicely wrap up the book for those interested in these areas and hopefully intending to acquire acknowledgement about it.” (Fábio Lui's Forti, Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Vol. 47 (2), Summer, 2011)
