Sara Duker and Matthew Eisenfeld settled into their seats as the door closed on Jerusalem's Number 18 bus which would take them across the spine of this ancient city of hills. But this man was no student.

About this product

Product Information

On February 25, 1996, Sara Duker and Matthew Eisenfeld, an American couple visiting Israel and who had just secretly become engaged, were on Jerusalem's Number 18 bus on the city's Jaffa Road. At a stop, a young man carrying an Israeli army backpack got on, but wasn't an Israeli soldier. He reached into his knapsack, pulled a cord, and set off a huge bomb. Sara and Matthew, the bomber, and 21 others, died instantly. Their grieving families set out to get answers and justice. They discovered that Iran had financed the bombing as well as others that preceded it. They filed a lawsuit in U.S. courts against Iran, asking for money from Iranian assets that had been frozen in the U.S. since the late 1970s. They won a judgment of $327 million against the Iranian assets. The U.S. government blocked their efforts to collect damages. The families have not give up.

"The Bus on Jaffa Road goes deep below the rhetoric on the 'war on terror' and tells the compelling story of what happens to the people who are not killed but whose lives are destroyed by one bomb on one bus." --Bob Simon, CBS 60 Minutes reporter, " The Bus on Jaffa Road goes deep below the rhetoric on the 'war on terror' and tells the compelling story of what happens to the people who are not killed but whose lives are destroyed by one bomb on one bus." --Bob Simon, CBS 60 Minutes reporter "Two young Americans are murdered on a bus. From that point on Mike Kelly takes us on a ride through the tortuous minefield of Middle Eastern politics as their families' search for justice. The story takes us into the mind of a terrorist and down the corridors of power in Washington. Best of all it reads like a novel. Read it! You will enjoy it and in the process learn a great deal about our troubled world." --Tom Kean, former New Jersey governor and chairman of the 9/11 Commission "A meticulous, beautiful book about terrorism, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and two extraordinary young people whose absence haunts us to this day." --Peter Beinart, author of The Crisis of Zionism and former editor of The New Republic "Mike Kelly has made a significant contribution to the literature on terrorism and counterterrorism in The Bus on Jaffa Road. By focusing on one tragic event, Kelly manages to evoke the emotions, policies, legalities, and moralities surrounding an act of terror and efforts to make some good come out of evil. In a judicious way, Kelly helps us empathize with the Duker and Eisenfeld families while presenting the complexities of the struggle to punish and deter the backer of terror, the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is a book well worth reading." --Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, Mike Kelly's skill, besides digging into so much material and amplifying our knowledge base through this own interviews, is in mastering it all and weaving such a tight fabric of understanding elegantly expressed. One could say this is a great book about everything that is touched by a suicide bombing - by all the suicide bombings., "(Kelly's) account is thorough, searing, and propulsive, and stands as an emblem of the grief that must be felt by every family that loses someone to terrorism." - Bloomberg.com, "Two young Americans are murdered on a bus. From that point on Mike Kelly takes us on a ride through the tortuous minefield of Middle Eastern politics as their families' search for justice. The story takes us into the mind of a terrorist and down the corridors of power in Washington. Best of all it reads like a novel. Read it! You will enjoy it and in the process learn a great deal about our troubled world." --Tom Kean, former New Jersey governor and chairman of the 9/11 Commission, "The Bus on Jaffa Road goes deep below the rhetoric on the 'war on terror' and tells the compelling story of what happens to the people who are not killed but whose lives are destroyed by one bomb on one bus."--Bob Simon, CBS 60 Minutes reporter, " The Bus on Jaffa Road is an eye-opening in-depth recreation that I could not put down. If you want history with a human face on it, this is a book you'll want to read."-Rick Francona, CNN analyst
