Miko Peled (born 1961) is an Israeli-American activist and author. He is author of the books The General’s Son: The Journey of an Israeli in Palestine and Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five. He is also an international speaker. Peled has described his book, The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine (2012), as an account of how he, "the son of an Israeli General and a staunch Zionist, came to realize that "the story upon which I was raised ... was a lie." The book, he has said, is based largely on long conversations with his mother, on a thorough reading of "everything my dad had ever written," and on material about his father's career in the Israeli army archives. The book, which has been characterized as "part confessional, part cinematic epic and part emotional appeal for 'different answers' to the Israeli-Palestinian conundrum," contains a foreword by Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple. In this candid account, Miko Peled tells how he followed in the footsteps of the genera (his father)l, from parachutist to fighter for peace. This fascinating story provides much food for thought. Alice Walker (born 1944) is a novelist, short story writer, poet, and social activist. More
