Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Self-defense is of fundamental value, perhaps one of the most important values of human life. It is inseparable from the right for life. We have witnessed on all levels, personal and national, what happened to people and to nations who did not implement the principles of self-defense. The principle of self-defense is especially meaningful to the Jewish people and to other nations who experience genocide.The State of Israel was established so that the holocaust or other horrific events would not occur again. But it goes deeper and broader than that. Self-defense is a value that each individual should adopt. Children should learn self-defense for their life in any environment. Weakness invites violence. Today we face the spread of Islamic terrorism and self-defense is becoming more relevant in fighting this kind of terror.No state authorities are able to provide absolute protection from terrorism to its citizens, and developing the actual ability of the population to defend itself is an important and vital tool today in fighting terrorism worldwide.On numerous occasions it has been proven that people who made use of self-defense changed dramatically the turn of events where terrorist attacks occurred. Self-defense should be adopted as a state policy in the western world and it is also vitally important for each individual. The purpose of this book is to motivate children and nations to better understand the importance of self-defense.

After devoting a great part of his career serving in central governmental positions; being member of the Knesset (the Israeli Parliament), passing 95 laws including the Israeli Bill of Rights,

and publishing thousands of articles in all the major Israeli newspapers, Uriel Lynn who is presently the President of the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce, decided 4 years ago to write books, believing that books, in most cases, have more influence on people than opinions in newspapers.

His first book "The Cornerstone" describes Lynn's seven positions in the public service.

Then back to his childhood and love for birds "Liad & the Crows", followed by a story for teenagers describing why learning self-defense is an important factor in their lives.

Soon to be published is the love affair he had when he was 11 years old with a girl of his age, in a boarding school called Shifia.

Uriel Lynn lives in Tel-Aviv, Israel.

Thrills, chills, and a good message, too

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2016

I bought this book for my 15-year-old nephew, but ended up reading it myself first… That happens to me every once in a while with YA books.

This book is an interesting combination of thriller and YA. It features a diverse cast of teenage boys (the charismatic leader, the class clown, the rich kid…) facing some of the usual problems typical of kids that age, whether it’s conflicts with parents or confronting bullies. However, since the book takes place in Israel, there’s also some pretty unique aspects related to living in a country where terrorism is a constant threat, and everyone, young or old, always has to be alert and vigilant. The thriller element, concerning a suspicious raft, an abandoned vehicle and some shady characters with bad intentions (no spoilers here!) was well-written – it definitely kept me turning the pages.

This is also a book with a message – about the importance of knowing how to defend yourself (as the title implies…), taking responsibility for your own safety, and protecting yourself and your loved ones. That’s a message I totally stand behind, and I think it’s very pertinent to American teens too, not just Israeli ones – more than a lot of us would like to believe… I definitely recommend this one for the teen in your life (and if you’re like me, maybe for yourself, too!).

I liked the idea behind the book about the boys taking it upon themselves to learn martial arts to defend themselves. I think you have to be in the mood to read this type of book since it did have a bit of violence in it. Nothing horrible but when you hear about it all the time on the news you kind of want to read happy things. Overall a good book though. A bit slow in a few chapters but the ending was good. I did receive an ebook version for free for my honest review. No other compensation was received. Opinions are my own.

Good message with an okay delivery

I didn't realize that this was basically a novella for young adults or teenagers. The protagonists are teenagers so I suppose it is fitting. The whole theme of the book is stated clearly in the title. Moral arguments for the individual to have the means and knowledge to defend themselves make up the crux of the story which ends in our five protagonists confronting a Palestinian terrorist about to blow up a mall.

Young heroes of Israel

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2016

As an older adult reading this book written for young adults, I found it informative about what life is like for an average younger teenager in an Israeli city. It also brought to light the importance of being able to take care of yourself, even in the most threatening situations. When I mentioned it to my grandson, however, he told me that they are not allowed to defend themselves; his school has a zero tolerance policy for any kind of aggressive behavior, even in self-defense. Alas, how sad.

I think that this is a very good book, I have never read a book quite like this one the storyline is genius yet relatable. Five teens finding the importance of self protection and self preservation is definitely something that needs to be promoted in society. This book is a definite page-turner and I recommend it, it is appropriate for teens also, I am going to let my son read it next.

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Self Defense

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2016

I really wanted to like this because I am a big fan of Israel. But the story line was disjointed, and didn't have much in the way of a plot. It read as though someone was simply relating the events rather than a well constructed novel. The characters were not developed well enough to keep them apart. More effort needs to go into it.

Self defence against terror

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

Translated from the Hebrew, this thriller gives an authentic flavour of life in Israel, with very atmospheric depictions of Tel Aviv and its surroundings. The author's main focus is on the vulnerability of Israeli's to Palestinian terrorists - particularly from the Territories - and the story illustrates the importance of access to firearms for self defence. Five stars for its commitment and zeal.
