“When did you surrender?“
(I didn’t surrender.)
“When did you raise a white flag?“
(That’s not how it was for us.) These few sentences alone sum up the drama experienced by Arieh Segev, taken prisoner along the Suez Canal on the second day of the Yom Kippur War, in September 1973.
Blending memories of a broken family (Segev arrived in Israel at the age of eleven, sent by his father who would never join him) with those of the discovery of his adopted country, into which he integrated with enthusiasm, Arieh Segev tells us of his tragic experience of the war, the defeat, and the brutal captivity that followed.
Far beyond the autobiographical account, this book is a work of liberation through the writing of the suffering accumulated over more than 30 years in the face of the incomprehension, even the contempt, of the authorities towards those who were unjustly accused of “fleeing” from the enemy, of “surrendering” themselves to him. It is the testimony of a soldier for whom a myth, that of the IDF, has cracked.
Pessimistic about the future of peace in this region of the world, The Prisoner of Yom Kippur is a powerful and somber work. Yet it remains full of hope.
