PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Israeli columnist Sharon draws on a unique set of family and documentary sources (including personal diaries) to tell the story of his father, one of Israel's great political and military leaders. Born in 1928 and struck down in early 2006 while working on Israel's withdrawal from Gaza, Sharon's life and battles paralleled those of his country. He was close to David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister, who supported his military career in the 1950s, and to the eventual Oslo accord peace-maker Yitzhak Rabin, Prime Minister after the 1973 war, under whom Sharon served as security adviser. In 1977, he helped found the Likud Party to break the political mold of Israeli politics, and was prepared to launch such an effort again in 2006 with Kadima. His blunt views of the Israeli political and military leaders with whom he served make for surprising reading, and his disagreements with Israel's political command receive attention here. The biography vividly delineates the qualities a leader needs to excel today.
Customer Reviews
Coverup of Genocide
This comes across as a self serving story to cover up the genocide of innocent women, children and elderly under his direct watch, control and security.
Shows Sharon the man
An interesting book giving a picture of Ariel Sharon the man as well as Arik the soldier and Sharon the statesman. The photos and videos are a novel way of enhancing a book and I foresee more books illustrated in this way. "Warrior", Ariel Sharon's autobiography is better written, but this certainly fills in many areas.
