description: The Circle: Terror and Triumph in the Holy Land is about the unyielding bond of friendship of three children, two Jewish siblings, and an Arab boy, all caught in the raging conflict between Arab and Jew. World War I is over, and Ismael returns a hero in the struggle against the Turks. Arabs are free for the first time in four hundred years. Yitzhak, caught in the glory of Zionism and the struggle for a Jewish state, joins the Circle, a secret organization know only to a few in the Yishuv. Sarah, unlike her brother Yitzhak, dedicates her life to a Palestine where Jew and Arab live together in freedom. Their world is ripped apart when Ismael's father, Abdul Latif is assassinated.
