WOW one of the best biographies I have ever read, and I have read a few. A brilliant told story about a fascinating but complex man. Peres story is deeply entwined with the Story of Israel. Great reading.

Impressive leader.

A shrewd account of Israel during its formation and development, particularly in its controversial military development.

[Ian Wojtowicz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book

Amazing description of the life of perhaps Israel's most renowned statesman. He suffered many defeats but never gave up in his quest for peace. Inspiring man who put character and integrity above politics.

Essential reading for people who want to understand Israel.

This book is not educational at all, it only contains the doctrine of killing. Don't waste your time to read this book.
