Description
This vivid account of the epic events that have shaped the history of modern Israel is interwoven with lively episodes and dramatic encounters with leading world statesmen. Having served under all Israeli Prime Ministers from Ben Gurion to Begin, and all Foreign Secretaries from Sharett to Dayan, Gideon Rafael is particularly qualified to portray their dif- fering personalities, their diplomatic methods, their interrelations, and their impact on Israel's political fortunes. That he does so with style is a treat for the reader. ISBN:9780812828122
