This Commemorative Stadium Edition of The Greatest Team Ever celebrates Texas Stadium with a special section of photographs and essays.

 

The Dallas Cowboys unveiled the NFL's newest and finest stadium in the autumn of 1971. With its distinctive outer ring of giant concrete buttresses and trademark hole in the roof "so that God could watch his team play," Dallas fans rightly had something to be proud of. Texas Stadium's been home to five Super Bowl winning teams, a feat no other venue since the AFL-NFL merger can boast. Now, after thirty-seven amazing seasons, this beloved stadium will fall silent after the last game on December 20, 2008. In this Texas Stadium commemorative edition of The Greatest Team Ever, complete with a 16-page special section honoring the Cowboys' longtime home, fans will have a special keepsake to remember those glorious years.

When war breaks out abruptly in 1973, childhood friends Haim and Dov are called up together to serve in their tank battalion, but in the chaos of battle, the friends are separated A month later, Haim returns alone, on his first leave home. As he struggles to come to terms with his experiences, weary and saddened but sustained by his religious faith, there is one question that remains uppermost in Haim's mind: What happened to Dov during those fateful days after the outbreak of war?

Much of the narrative of ADJUSTING SIGHTS (Toby Press, May 15, 2003, hdcv.) centers around recounting those chaotic first days of war endured by Haim, a tank gunner, along the hills and valleys of the Golan Heights. Interspersed with the action are Haim's memories of childhood, growing up with Dov in an immigrant neighborhood of Jerusalem. The religious teachings Haim and his fellow soldiers have grown up with are constantly with them as they deal with the devastating disarray of their forces and their fear of failure and capture. Prayer and Talmudic passages form a framework that enables them to cope with their experiences. Sabato skillfully draws us into the individual worlds of these young men; their courage as they help each other, their pain as they deal with the loss of comrades.

A lightly fictionalized biography written in a style reminiscent of S.Y. Agnon, ADJUSTING SIGHTS is not a book about religion, politics, or the rights and wrongs of war, but rather, it's a story about the personal experiences of a 19-year old man who has to adjust not only the sights of his gun, but also his understanding of the world in which he lives.

The author, Haim Sabato, descends from a long line of rabbis from Aleppo, Syria. He was born in Egypt but moved to Israel with his family when he was six. He served in the tank corps in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and today heads a Yeshiva near Jerusalem. ADJUSTING SIGHTS was a runaway bestseller in Israel, and won the prestigious Sapir Prize for Literature. It is his second book.

ADJUSTING SIGHTS was translated into English by a leading Israeli translator, Hillel Halkin. Halkin is also a journalist and author..

On general grounds I deprecate prefaces. I have always thought that if an author cannot make friends with the reader, and explain his objects, in two or three hundred pages, he is not likely to do so in fifty lines. And yet the temptation of speaking a few words behind the scenes, as it were, is so strong that few writers are able to resist it. I shall not try..
