- Summary:
- ""On the morning of October 8, 1973, the company I commanded was ordered to cross the Suez Canal. After two hours of fighting, most of the battalion's tanks were on fire. My tank took a direct hit and stopped. I managed to jump off it, and found myself in a face-to-face battle with dozens of Egyptian soldiers. I I don't believe in miracles, and to this day I have no explanation as to how I stayed alive, the only one of my team. The 'counterattack of October 8', also known as the 'fall attack', is the fault line in my life, which has never healed." ==Fifty years passed until Giora Morg managed to overcome the pain and write down the life stories and the fractures that shaped his life and the life of his family. The book 'Ku Shaver' goes from the story of his father in Kibbutz Nitzanim during the War of Independence, the evacuation of the children in "Operation Baby" and the fall of the defenders in Egyptian captivity, through his break as an officer in the Yom Kippur War and his son's in the Lebanon War, working alongside Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kolek and Minister of Finance Pinchas Sapir , and to the senior positions he held in the banking system in Israel and abroad."-- Publisher's website.
