An award-winning writer, Dan Ephron has served as the Jerusalem bureau chief for Newsweek and the Daily Beast and now lives in New York City.
"...a riveting new book about the prime minister and his murderer." -- Ian Black - The Guardian "Vividly written and sharply insightful, Killing a King is an important and valuable addition to our understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." -- Literary Review "Exceptional...an electrifying political narrative twinned with an old-fashioned crime story--of the sort that ought to be taught in journalism schools for its restraint, pacing and expert creation of suspense...The book is a Greek tragedy told in split screen, a frame-for-frame chronicle of a deplorable death foretold. " -- Jennifer Senior - The New York Times "...compelling..." -- Jewish News "A clear-eyed account...captures the way politics in this young and tiny country are uniquely and deeply personal." -- The Economist "Incisive... In a crisp and lively narrative, Ephron walks the reader through the assassination itself and its aftermath...[and] infuses his book with relevance by circling back to bigger questions." -- Ilene Prusher - The New York Times Book Review "Striking...if the story of Yitzhak Rabin and Yigal Amir has anything to teach, it's that individuals matter... The opportunity that Rabin was trying to seize-however small-was there for a moment, and it may never come again." -- Dexter Filkins - The New Yorker "Carefully reported, clearly presented, concise and gripping...a reminder that what happened on a Tel Aviv sidewalk 20 years ago is as important to understanding Israel as any of its wars." -- Matti Friedman - The Washington Post
