Lost blood for Marco Abraham, puts you in unavoidable touch with your soul. It gives you the chance to meet the worst possible facets of humanity. It takes you in a journey to the deepest fears that you would avoid even in your nightmares. But, the book gives you the chance to see how the genius willingness to live act even in the darkest moment in humans' life. It shows you how love grows even when hatred is the master of the game. It is a continuous battle between the right and wrong, between the evils and goods, but this time the heroes are human beings. All of them are human beings, but some of them tend to forget that and some of them discover his humanity in a way unavailable to any body else. The writer was honest conveying the story, his pains and his contradictions. He described the killers without exaggeration. He gave some of them the credit for being more humane than the others. He showed the discussion between himself and an Israeli soldier who was human enough to offer help and Abraham was human enough to refuse the belated help. He conveyed his deep feeling of quilt because he was human enough to hide from death. The naive idea of being a hero and defend his friend Abd el Salam and fiancée Rola is still awake in the authors mind as if the massacre left him the 18 year old teenager. Thanks Marco, for sharing your stories with us. Thanks for being honest and thanks for trying to make sure that the lost blood will not continue being lost.

Love amidst the killing fields

Lost Blood by Marco Abraham Marco Abraham did not write a non-fiction book about the continuing conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis; instead he retells and relives this painful massacre on September 16, 1982, a date that is best buried, but should never be forgotten. Lost Blood takes the readers to the unstable political unrest in the Middle East. It is a dark historical time in which hate, genocide, and evil battle and sometimes trupimph over love, humanity, and faith. Amidst the killing fields of Sabra and Shatila, a beautiful angel lives and love is born. Abraham intimately shares this private love so tenderly; the reader temporarily escapes, "hell on earth". Unapologetically, Abraham violently forces the readers to face each victim. He is the tortured elderly man who dies defending his honor. He is the screaming woman whose unborn child aborts her womb. He is the innocent child who suffers the unspeakable rape. He is the young man who comforts his mother with his last dying breath. He is the angle who prays that her love will survive. He is Marco Abraham, a survivor. These are innocent victims, not merely characters in a book. Lost Blood challenges the readers to see the suffering, hear the cries of injustice, feel the hands of evilness, taste the bittersweet fruit of love, and ultimately touch death by the thousands. Lost Blood evokes so many emotions from its readers; it takes courage to finish this story. Abraham is ruthless in his quest to remind the readers that indifference or even ignorance may, will, and did result in a massacre. The atrocity of Sabra and Shatila so painfully and powerfully vivid with Abraham's words transcend age, gender, race, and religion. It calls for all Jews, Christians, and Muslims to learn from the past and move forward with peace. Lost Blood must be told. It is told through the voice of Marco Abraham. Read Lost Blood and you can never remain voiceless; be their voice.
