Publisher's summary

With the coming of dawn is the coming of death for a captured English officer in British-controlled Palestine. Elisha, a young Israeli freedom fighter, is his executioner. Ordered to kill the officer in reprisal for Britain's execution of a Jewish prisoner, Elisha thinks about his past, a sorrowful memory of the nightmare of Nazi death camps. As the only surviving member of his family, he dreamt of a wonderful future in his promised homeland. But instead, he finds himself closer to committing heartless murder with the approach of daylight. Dawn presents a haunting glimpse into the soul of one man and a budding nation.

G-d post holocaust

In night Gd s lost. At dawn Gd is found again. But Gd has changed.

Why must we hate?

Hate is never the answer. Elie Wiesel of all people have reason to hate and chose instead to love. We all should follow his example.

Loved it

The author really had a way of presenting the story in a way that was easily communicated.

Better that DAY - but not as good as NIGHT.

This was a book I purchased because I liked his first book NIGHT. This is nothing like NIGHT - has a different character - the story line is OK - but not what NIGHT was.... It's a short read - and George Guidall is spectacular as always..

Review of Dawn

“Dawn” was a beautifully written account of one of the greatest tragedies and horrific crimes against humanity in the history of the world.

Engaging Listen

Again this author out does himself. The story was engaging and sucks you in thanks to the beautiful narration. Highly recommend.

Follow up to Night

Night was striking for its truth and horrific account of what humans can do to others. This is a work of fiction, and more art than truth.

Amazing book and Narration

The narrators voice was very appealing and flowed gracefully but personally I did not like the story if I may I 100% recommend the book night by the same author in this series absolutely love that book!!!

Powerful

I wanted to finish the series but I did not know what Dawn was about. This is an incredibly power, beautiful, and very apt book for today. It’s a good reminder of the past. I look forward to Day.

Amazing story, but not Unabridged

George Guidall is perfect at reading Elie Wiesel's stories. He makes it feel so personal, like someone is directly telling you their story. The story overall gives a glimpse into the inter turmoil some of us face when making very serious decisions, that have very real consequences. It also touches on how we end up in situations we might never have imagined or wished for ourselves.

WARNING!... Very disappointed that parts of the story were left out from the book. An important scene between Catherine and Elisha was skipped that helps to develop Elisha's character and his understanding of love and other peoples motives toward him. I am not sure why this was skipped over when the title says that the audio book is "Unabridged". I have not read the physical book in a while so I am not sure if there are other parts left out, but I would recommend reading the physical book in addition to the audio book for a more fully developed understanding of Elisha and how he processes his feelings and thoughts.
