Dawn (Unabriged)

By: Elie Wiesel

Narrated by: George Guidall

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.

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.
