A remarkable man-a remarkable book
This book is a page turner which is no small feat for a biography. I learned so much about the man, Peres, and about his country. Between this book and Bar-Zohar's book on Ben Gurion, one gets a comprehensive and extremely readable history of the founding and history of Israel. To say that Peres is a complex but fascinating man is an understatement. One minute you are cheering for him and the ...

Ben- Zohar basically sympathizes with Ben- Gurion and appreciates the decisive role he played, the unique role he played in doing the impossible, and bringing into being a Jewish state after two- thousand years of Exile, ...

A Must Read
Mr. Bar Zohar intricate and well researched study of the rescue of Bulgaria's Jews is an insightful look into how a nation saved its own citizens from the death camps. The book is well written and at times flows like a novel. It is a must for any serious student of the holocaust or of Bulgaria. What I found most interesting is the juxtaposition of the treatment of Bulgarian's own Jews with ...

Fascinating Account
Massacre in Munich is one of the most fascinating books on the murder of the Israeli Olympians in 1972 & the following manhunt by the Mossad. Abner, the somewhat reluctant Mossad agent, gives a thrilling account of how the murderers were killed. To date, it is one of the most accurate accounts of the Mossad strinking back to protect Isreali citizens. One of he most interesting sections is the ...

An excellent collection of true heroes
One trait is shared by all of the individuals in this book, heroism. From all walks of life, disparate viewpoints, and from remote places around the world they rose up above the self, striving for a greater good. From one-armed Joseph Trumpledor, Russian war hero and Jewish legend, to Mordechai Anielewicz, young leader of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, these shine like beacons of hope and courage in ...

Simply Brilliant
Yaacov Herzog's name will never be famous but he was, in Isaiah Berlins words "one of the most attractive and morally most impressive human beings". Herzog was a descendant of a major Rabbinical family, his father was the Chief Rabbi of Ireland and then Israel, a family of Torah scholars immersed in Zionism and progressive for their time, perhaps more progressive than today's orthodox Jews. ...
