A call to courage from a soldier who refused to stand by as antisemitism surged and Western values came under siege.

The world is shifting. Antisemitism is on the rise. The West stands at a crossroads.

Hatred was once whispered. Now it roars-and too many look away. But what happens when someone outside the Jewish community refuses to stay silent, instead choosing to speak out boldly and without apology?

In A Light Still Burns, Michael Scott CSC-highly decorated Australian Army officer and founder of The 2023 Foundation-delivers a powerful and deeply personal call to conscience. Drawing from over three decades of military service and a transformative posting in Jerusalem with the United Nations, Scott offers a fearless defense of Israel and its values shared with the West, which are now under siege.

With piercing clarity, Scott unpacks the horror of October 7, 2023-and the chilling aftermath on the streets of Sydney that compelled him to act. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, Scott exposes the new face of antisemitism, the ideological assault on truth, and the West's slow moral decay.

But there is also a light revealing a path forward. A Light Still Burns is a rallying cry-a passionate reminder that courage is contagious and in the face of darkness, even one voice can ignite hope.
