The Masada Solution

by Jeffrey Fishman

Overview

I would like to introduce you to my new novel, The Masada Solution. I wrote this book because I care deeply for Israel and worry about the future of the volatile Middle East. I'm sure you do, as well. The Masada Solution is a fast-paced, compelling story that uses the history and current events of the Middle East to formulate options to secure Israel's future. It is the story of a man whose character is formed by past events and whose purpose is defined when his goddaughter is killed by a terrorist's bomb. The protagonist, Jake Zimmer, refuses to accept more carnage of children and the inevitable end of Israel, and decides he will use any means to solve the Middle East conflict, once and for all. With an old ally, he devises a plan that requires him to reject the values that have guided his life and ignore the rules of diplomacy and covenants that constrain nations.
He deceives a U.S. President, the Israeli government, and ultimately, the world in his quest for peace. Opposition forces conspire to kill the plan, causing countless casualties, treachery, treason, failed governments and personal tragedies, but Jake continues seeking a final solution. The book is a story of good versus evil, right versus wrong, character versus expediency. Go with Jake on this adventure to find peace in the world and his peace within.

WARNING: This book is NOT politically correct and it is NOT FAIR AND BALANCED. It is honest and realistic.

About the Author

Jeffrey M. Fishman is a student of history who knows how injustices can occur and how, for good to prevail, sometimes evil must be confronted without restraint. In writing this novel, his inspiration was Zvi Zamir, who, while just a teenager, joined the Palmach resistance movement in what was to become Israel. As the elite fighters of the the Haganah, it was formed to combat the incessant Arab attacks on Jews. The Palmach allied with the British against the Nazis, but later, fought the British to achieve Israeli independence and statehood. After the Palmach was merged into the Israeli Defense Forces, Zamir quickly rose to the rank of Major General.
In 1968, he became Director of Mossad, and when the Palestinian terrorists, Black September, attacked and murdered Israeli athletes competing at the Munich Olympics, Zamir and Prime Minister, Golda Meir, launched Operation Wrath of God. The mission to assassinate the terrorists involved, despite its violation of Israeli policy and accepted international rules of engagement, was designed to awaken the world that Israel will have retribution against those who attack them. There would be a price to pay for killing Jews.
Like Zamir, the author refuses to accept the destruction of Israel as inevitable and believes that unorthodox and creative actions must be taken to prevent it. His protagonist, Jake Zimmer, is willing to do anything to find the elusive peace. The author is a lawyer who understands what is ethical and what isn't, what behavior is legal and what is moral. The author hopes Director Zamir finds the premise of this novel compatible with his views and hopes you, the reader, will find this story to be a good read and thought-provoking.
