Dr. Amin Jaafari, an Arab-Israeli citizen, is a respected, dedicated surgeon at a hospital in Tel Aviv. He has learned to live with the violence that plagues his city and works tirelessly to help
the victims brought to the emergency room. But one night, a deadly bombing in a local restaurant takes a horrifyingly personal turn, when his wife’s body is found among the dead—bearing injuries
that match those typically found on the bodies of fundamentalist suicide bombers.
As evidence mounts that his wife, Sihem, was responsible for the catastrophic bombing, Dr. Jaafari must face the inescapable realization that the beautiful, intelligent, thoroughly modern woman he
loved had a secret life that was far removed from the comfortable, assimilated existence they shared.

“The Attack, Yasmina Khadra’s best book, is an urgent, must-read.” —Paris Match
“Moving…[Khadra] nicely captures his hero’s turmoil in trying to come to terms with the endless violence.” —Publishers Weekly
“Yasmina Khadra has written a thoughtful, thought-provoking book, and Stefan Rudnicki's performance is urgent, immediate, and agonizing.” —AudioFile
“The Attack is a detective story sans detective, suffused with raging grief over what sectarian violence has made of the Islamic world…powerful and engrossing.” —Booklist
Yasmina Khadra is a pen name of Algerian army officer Mohammed Moulessehoul, who is the author of three other books published in English: The Swallows of Kabul, In the
