Anthony David, An Improbable Friendship: The Remarkable Lives of Israeli Ruth Dayan and Palestinian Raymonda Tawil and Their Forty-Year Peace Mission

In Conversation with Michael Jacobs, Editor, Atlanta Jewish Times

An Improbable Friendship is the dual biography of Israeli Ruth Dayan, now 98, who was Moshe Dayan’s wife for 37 years, and Palestinian journalist Raymonda Tawil, Yasser Arafat’s mother-in-law, now 74. It reveals for the first time the two women’s surprising and secret 40-year friendship and delivers the story of their extraordinary and turbulent lives growing up in a war-torn country. Based on personal interviews, diaries, and journals drawn from both women, award-winning biographer and historian, Anthony David, brings us a story of unexpected friendship, while he discovers the true pasts of two outstanding women.
