New PB edition of an internationally celebrated best-seller: More than 50,000 copies of Moshe Rashkes’s gripping story sold in Israel alone following its release in 1962. Now, for the first time, it will be published as an English language paperback.

High caliber of endorsers with wide widespread name recognition: stands out in its genre as an exalted and well-reputed book

Affordable price point makes this an accessible purchase: The lower price point of the paperback Days of Lead makes this a no-brainer purchase for fans of military and twentieth century history books or those on Israel or the Middle East.

Timely release: With an August release, the paperback edition of Days of Lead will pub in advance of the Jewish High Holidays, allowing for a natural stream of publicity and promotional opportunities.

Wide audience of pro-Israel Americans proves potential of mass readership: With 5.7 million Jews in the US, and 80 percent of them identifying as pro-Israel and two-thirds declaring that they are attached to Israel on an emotional level as of 2020, it’s clear that there are millions of readers who will flock to this Israeli soldier’s account of the culturally and historically significant period in Israel’s birth.

Story with timeless appeal: Now, almost sixty years since its original publication, the story feels as gripping, moving, and important as ever. Strong reviews on sites like Amazon and Goodreads speak to the vivid and compelling nature of the writing.
