During Israel's 2008-09 Operation Cast Lead, Dr. Mads Gilbert and Dr. Erik Fosse were the only two foreign doctors allowed into Gaza, where they spent 16 days at the over-crowded Al-Shifaa Hospital. Eyes in Gaza is their account of the horrors they witnessed there, with each chapter devoted to a single day. The Norwegian edition was hailed by the influential Norwegian newspaper Klassekampen as the "best book of 2009." Gilbert and Fosse's shocking yet sober account sheds much-needed light on the terror inflicted on the innocent civilians of Gaza. |
