Arthur Koestler presents the story through the eyes of Joseph, a half-Jewish Englishman, whose journal entries lay bare the brutal realities of dispossession, idealism, and armed resistance. Written with unflinching honesty and moral complexity, the novel argues that the birth of a nation demands not just courage but a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths about justice and violence. Drawing on Koestler's firsthand experience in the region, the narrative captures the desperation and determination of a people waging a bitter war against merciless enemies and a pitiless land — making it a powerful companion to the tradition of Exodus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893810901211,"sku":"2026200009210-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/bc09342b-491e-46db-95aa-f8e29e89dee7.png?v=1782040538","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009210-secondhand-thieves-in-the-night","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
