Though best known for his role as Israel’s ambassador to the United States, as a prize-winning historian and his political analysis in the media, Michael Oren has long been a writer of poems, plays and novels. “The Night Archer,” his third work of fiction, presents more than 50 original short stories, each of them completely unique. Mystery and murder stories, history and romance, faith and family, comedy and war—all are contained in this gripping and critically-acclaimed work. For readers looking for a different kind of literary experience, and a fascinating break from COVID-19 boredom, “The Night Archer” is the perfect book.

Oren will reveal the stories behind these stories. He will explain why, for him, writing fiction is a declaration of freedom, and why short story writing is an assertion of Jewish freedom. “The Night Archer” is more than just a collection of stories, but an affirmation of identity, a way in which the author’s experiences as a diplomat, soldier, politician and family man translate into tales that are both riveting and meaningful.

As a statesman, historian and parliamentarian, Oren has devoted his life to serving Israel and the Jewish people around the world. As a member of Knesset and deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, he interacted with foreign leaders and defended Israel in the media. He spearheaded efforts to strengthen Israel-Diaspora relations, to develop the Golan Heights and to fight BDS. As chairman of a classified subcommittee, he dealt with some of Israel’s most sensitive security issues. Prior to that, Oren served as Israel’s ambassador to the United States. He was instrumental in obtaining U.S. defense aid, especially for the Iron Dome system, and American loan guarantees for Israel’s economy. He built bridges with diverse communities across the nation, wrote dozens of op-eds and conducted hundreds of media interviews, fortifying the U.S.-Israel alliance.
