Discounted copies of Peled's book "The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine" will be sold at the event.

Miko Peled is an Israeli writer and activist living in San Diego. His book, The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine, follows the development of the Israeli Palestinian struggle from a national and personal perspective. Pulitzer Prize winner Alice Walker described the book as "one of the most hopeful" on the issue.

Peled was born in Jerusalem in 1961. His grandfather, Dr. Avraham Katsnelson, was a Zionist leader and signer of the Israeli Declaration of Independence. His father, Matti Peled, was a young officer in the war of 1948 and a general in the war of 1967 when Israel conquered the West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights and the Sinai who later called for an end to Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory.

In 1997, the death of Peled's beloved niece Smadar in a suicide bombing propelled Peled onto a journey of discovery. It pushed him to re-examine beliefs he had grown up with as part of the Zionist political-military elite. The journey transformed him into a courageous and visionary activist in the struggle for human rights and a hopeful, lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
