Front Cover
Hachette+ORM, Oct 14, 2009 - Political Science - 568 pages

Israel's Prime Minister explains the role of the nation and Zionism in the context of the Middle East's cultural—and violent—history.

Benjamin Netanyahu's examination of the Middle East's troubled history traces the origins, development and politics of Israel's relationship with the Arab world and the West. It argues that peace with the Palestinians will leave Israel vulnerable to Iraq and Iran.

"Powerful, lucidly argued . . . impressive. . . . Very few Israeli spokesmen have ever understood the Arab arguments against Israel so well, or deployed counterarguments so skillfully. . . . Often entertaining as well as instructive." — New York Times Book Review

"Brilliant . . . mastery . . . shows that Netanyahu is as tough, as sharp, and as eloquent as his political enemies fear. And then some." — National Review

"Scholarly yet swift. . . . Seasoned watchers of Middle Eastern affairs and interested laymen alike will enjoy Mr. Netanyahu's clarity and thoughtfulness . . . a profound effort to explain the issues thoroughly while not being didactic . . . a pleasure to read." — Washington Times
