It was described as "the coming-of-age story that blurs the boundaries between heroism and futility, historical injustice and historical justice." This hard to read book does not attempt to give a historical narrative, rather the personal experiences of the war, sometimes against its official portrayal. For example, Kaniuk describes how they shot an Arab child after they found their fellow soldier hanged on a tree. Or another, an anticlimactic episode when to a group of soldiers tired to death lying shivering of cold by a dead body came a Palmach "politruk" who told them about the establishment of the state of Israel, and forced them to dance.Moti Golani he מוטי גולני, "תש"ח" מאת יורם קניוק | פוגת המוות, Haaretz, July 9, 2010 In 2011 it was adapted for stage at the Haifa Theatre by Noya Lantz he נויה לנצט.Tzipi Shochat he ציפי שוחט, "תש"ח" של יורם קניוק יעובד למחזה, Haaretz, April 04, 2011 Awards Awards the book earned for the author include: 2011, the Sapir Prize for Literature.http://www.mouse.co.il/CM.articles_item,610,209,59574,.aspx https://web.archive.org/web/20150614182759/http://www.mouse.co.il/CM.articles_item,610,209,59574,.aspx 2015-06-14 יורם קניוק זכה בפרס ספיר (Yoram Kaniuk won the Sapir prize) 2011: officer of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, Franceעיטור צרפתי יוקרתי הוענק ליורם קניוק על ספרו "תש"ח" Notes References he:תש"ח Category:2010 novels Category:Hebrew-language novels Category:21st-century Israeli novels Category:1948 Arab–Israeli War Category:Israeli historical novels Category:Books about the Arab–Israeli conflict Category:Autobiographical novels Category:Novels set in 1948
