Documented by in-depth research into Begin's family origins in Poland, his Holocaust experiences and his years as a guerrilla leader in Palestine, this biography draws together the threads of Begin's life and career in Israeli politics. Perlmutter ( Israel: the partitioned state ), a political scientist who knows well the history of Zionism and Israel, has written the first serious biography of Begin. He relies on documentation and evidence, though he also makes full use of oral history. The book traces Begin from his early days in Poland to his last days as prime minister of Israel. It explores the complexity of the man and tries to uncover what lies behind the public facade. "He over the years, has been labeled a Fascist, a threat to Israeli democracy and a militarist, but in fact he was a democrat, a liberal and a parliamentary politician . . . a man of high moral standards . . . committed to justice." Perlmutter also maintains that Begin was, repeatedly, a victim of passivity during crises, and that as a young man, he "was a classic . . . party apparatchik . . . with few original ideas of his own.".
