He is also one of the most controversial. A man extremes, his contradictory nature has prompted him to be labeled both dreamer and pragmatist, terrorist and peacemaker. Now, in this extraordinary work, distinguished political scientist and journalist Amos Perlmutter offers the first comprehensive biography of Menachem Begin to boldly explore the inner man behind the complex leader. By traveling to Begin's Poland and Israel, and combing through archives to uncover critical letters and documents, Perlmutter has been able to illuminate Begin by placing him in the times and places where he lived and rose in Zionist politics. Here are Begin's early days as a member of the Jewish middle class in Poland, where his political ideology and the roots of his militarism first took shape. Here, too, is his personal tragedy during the Holocaust; his role as leader of the revolt against British rule; his underground period; the political desert years; his astonishing rise to Prime Minister; the momentous Camp David victory; and the tragedy of the Lebanon debacle. Throughout, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MENACHEM BEGIN remarkably reveals the private man, so that in the end we finally come to understand the public figure. Penetrating and provocative, this is an important and timely study of the leader who so dramatically affected the map of the Middle East, the structure of its politics, and Israel's image in the eyes of the world.
