Who by fire : war, atonement, and the resurrection of Leonard Cohen

Friedman, Matti 1977- (author.).

Summary: Leonard Cohen's travels to the Sinai desert in 1973 inspired some of his greatest songs - but it is a moment that only few knew about, until now. In 'Who By Fire', Canadian-Israeli journalist Matti Friedman gives us an account of what happened during those weeks in Israel in October, 1973. With access to amazing and never-before-seen material written by Cohen himself, along with dozens of interviews and rare photographs, Friedman presents an unforgettable portrait of the artist, and of the young people who heard him sing in the midst of combat.
