About this book

A political and analytical biography, this book examines Yizhak Rabin's longtime leadership of the military and his political direction of the Jewish state, as well as his efforts to secure a peace with Egypt and with the Palestinians.

Reviews

"Dr. Derfler's study of Rabin represents a significant contribution to our understanding of this important Israeli leader. Derfler's treatment of Rabin's role in the events leading up to 1967, as well as his interpretation of how Rabin laid the foundations of the Sadat-Begin accord, will be surprising to many students of Israeli history. Recommended reading." - Henry Abramson, Dean of Academic Affairs and Student Services, Touro College South, USA
