In October, 1973, Leonard Cohen travelled to the Sinai desert and inserted himself into the chaos and bloodshed of the Yom Kippur War. Cohen dived headlong into the midst of a global crisis and met hundreds of fighting men and women at the worst moment of their lives. With access to never-before-seen material written by Cohen himself, along with dozens of interviews and rare photographs, journalist Matti Friedman revives this fraught and stunning time, presenting an intimate and unforgettable portrait of the artist, and of the young people who heard him sing in the midst of combat.
