Synopsis

Published in 2008, this unique work reflects a deep partnership between two U.S. intelligence professionals and close friends for over fifteen years: John Josef Costandi, an agnostic Palestinian-American, and Arieh R. Loya, a Jewish Israeli-American. Blending decades of analytical perspective with creative intrigue, the book offers a distinct, behind-the-scenes vantage point born from their clandestine backgrounds.Unfolding through cherished recollections, the narrative captures the story of Moses as originally shared by a venerated Baghdad Rabbi with his young grandson, Arieh, perched upon his knee. It is presented as a novel based on how Costandi and Loya imagined the story to have happened. Notably, while it is a fictional rendition, most of the dialogue within this book's narrative is drawn directly from the text of the Torah.The Blood of the Covenant: Moses March East, Motive and Strategy examines the formative era of early Jewish history through the contrasting leadership and dynamic relationship between Moses and Joshua. Rather than presenting a seamless transition of power, the narrative explores their close cooperation alongside the necessary conflicts and strategic challenges they faced during the migration eastward.Set against the crucible of empire and wilderness, the book traces the foundational traditions, covenantal laws, and social structures that blossomed into the full-fledged Jewish religion, forming the core foundation that unified the twelve tribes of Israel into a new nation.
