  Book Description
  Publication Date:
November 27, 2012
  Menachem Begin, father of Israel's right wing and sixth prime minister of the nation,
was known for his unflinchingly hawkish ideology. And yet, in 1979 he signed a groundbreaking peace treaty with Egypt
for which he and Egyptian president Anwar Sadat received the Nobel Prize for Peace. Such a contradiction was typical in
Begin's life: no other Israeli played as many different, sometimes conflicting, roles as Begin, and no other figure
inspired such sharply opposing responses. Begin was belittled and beloved, revered and despised, and his career was
punctuated by exhilarating highs on the one hand, despair and ostracism on the other.
   
  This riveting
biography is the first to provide a satisfactory answer to the question, Who was Begin? Based on wide-ranging research
among archival documents and on testimonials and interviews with Begin's closest advisers, the book presents a detailed
new portrait of the founding leader. Among the many topics the book holds up to new light are Begin's antagonistic
relationship with David Ben-Gurion, his controversial role in the 1982 Lebanon War, his unique leadership style, the
changes in his ideology over the years, and the mystery behind the total silence he maintained at the end of his career.
Through Begin's remarkable life, the book also recounts the history of the right-wing segment of Israeli society, a
story essential to understanding the Israel of today.
  
  Editorial Review
  From Booklist
 
For the first three decades of Israel’s national existence, politics was dominated by the Labor coalition; the
possibility that the right-wing Likud, led by Menachem Begin, could take power seemed remote and even absurd. Many Jews,
both within and outside of Israel, reviled him as an extremist with Fascist tendencies. In a dramatic shift, he and his
party rose to power in 1977. It is symptomatic of the rightward political transformation of Israel that Begin is now a
widely revered political figure on a par with David Ben Gurion. Shilon has written a scrupulously balanced and
comprehensive biography of the frustratingly complex and enigmatic leader. Born to a staunchly Zionist family in
Brest-Litovsk, then part of the Russian Empire, Begin was drawn to a particularly militant strain of Zionism, influenced
by the persecutions of Jews that he witnessed firsthand. In Mandate Palestine, he was a mercurial underground fighter
who could be both a rigid ideologue and a practical tactician. Shilon reveals often fascinating and surprising details
about Begin as a politician in independent Israel. This is a superbly researched examination. --Jay Freeman
