Unto Death: Crusade/Late Love - Softcover

Unto Death comprises two novellas by one of Isreal's most gifted writers. In Crusade and Late Love Oz explores the atmosphere of hatred in which Jews live, die, or degenerate into insanity. In Crusade a band of Crusaders journey towards Jerusalem, attacking and killing Jews along the way. Their initial spirit of triumph gives way to depression as disease and deprivation slow their progress. In Late Love, set in modern-day Israel, an aged lecturer who willingly ignores his deteriorating body cannot ignore his paranoid visions of the destruction of his people by Soviet Russia.
