From the acclaimed author of The Memory Monster, a New York Times Notable Book of 2020, comes a gripping exploration of the intricacies of military service as experienced by Abigail, a psychologist who becomes entangled in the dilemmas soldiers face both on and off the battlefield.
The tenacious narrator of Yishai Sarid's Victorious is Abigail, a military psychologist and single mother who has dedicated her career to the Israeli Army. A renowned expert in the psychology of combat, Abigail assists soldiers in navigating the trauma of war, while also imparting valuable insights to commanders on effective strategies for employing resilience and precision in killing.
As her son Shauli approaches the age for military service, Abigail becomes increasingly involved in the lives of the army's Chief of Staff and her patients, blurring the lines between her personal beliefs and her profession. Meanwhile, Abigail's deeply moral father, also a clinical psychologist, openly condemns her decision to aid Israel's military machine. However, for Abigail, it is a patriotic duty. It is only when Shauli enlists in the elite and dangerous paratroopers unit that Abigail's mental defenses are finally breached.
In his signature style, Yishai Sarid uncovers the contradictions at the core of patriotism, national identity, and the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Victorious is a riveting and provocative examination of modern warfare that prompts us to contemplate the profound sacrifices we are willing to make in pursuit of victory.
