Insightful, stirring, and controversial. The Enemy Within is a series of essays describing the author’s first-hand experiences as a founding member of the Israeli IRGUN
(IZL), the underground Organization founded by Ze’ev Jabotinsky.
Jacob Gurewich’s parents emigrated from Riga, Latvia, to Israel in the 1930s. Growing up in the Holy Land, Jacob soon joined the pioneering Irgun Organization. It was a fateful decision. Throughout his career in the Israeli Defense Force, Jacob locked horns with leaders such as Menachem Begin; learned the truth about covert activities involving international leaders; and was nearly executed for his beliefs.
His collections of never-before-told essays will captivate history buffs, Middle East aficionados, and fans of the historical narrative. The Enemy Within is a chock full of eyewitness accounts of covert activities conducted by the British, since World War I –and up to the day of liberation.
The Enemy Within is far more than a military recollection—it quenches the reader’s thirst for intrigue. Gurewich delivers the truth behind the Sezon period, the hanging of the 12 freedom fighters by the British, and the author’s own exile to East Africa.
In light of today’s chaotic “Roadmap to Peace” in the Middle East, The Enemy Within is timely and will strike a deep chord with readers. Using countless examples of tyrannical acts of anti-Semitism throughout the ages, readers will be challenged to examine and weigh their attitudes toward the Arab situation, especially with World War II still looming in the background.
A Book entitled “The Enemy Within”
This book is
for my Grandchildren and the Grandchildren
Of the Freedom Fighters of the Irgun and Lechi.
It’s for the Grandchildren of the glorious fighters – religious and
Secular alike – who fell in the War of Liberation of the Land of Israel.
This Land was desecrated by Arab murderers, who in addition,
Tried to destroy the fledgling, re-established State of Israel
After the terrible Shoah.
This book
is also for the Grandchildren
Of those who are being murdered by Arabs
Since the Oslo Shoah took effect – a Shoah
That our own Enemy Within inflicted upon us.
And
finally, it’s for the Grandchildren
Of the millions of revered Jewish settlers
Making Aliya (immigrating) to Israel
From all over the world:
May they
all be as dew over the land, grow as lilies,
Cast forth their roots, and develop into strong,
Healthy, blossoming buds, forming
A promising Jewish generation of the future.
May they
live in a wholly liberated democratic state
In the Land of Israel, free of Arab murderers
And of Enemies Within.
And the
sound of joy and delight will be heard:
In all the cities and settlements
Throughout Judea and Samaria
From the Golan Heights in the north
Along the Jordan River
To the Gulf of Eilat in the south
From the shining sweet water
Of the Jordan River in the east
Through the beautiful abundant
Mountains and hills
Of fruits and sweet wine
To the lightly-salted shining water
Of the Mediterranean Sea in the west
To the streets of Jerusalem of Light –
The capital of the Land of Israel.

“All my life, I regarded myself an observant Catholic woman. Yet after reading The Enemy Within, which is not unswervingly against religion, I became extremely confused. It forced me to swallow some hard truths. Subsequently, I re-read the book and thoroughly researched many of Gurewich’s assertions. Finally, I realized that his facts were on target and well-documented.”
