Schectman, Rebel and Statesman and Fighter and Prophet, constitutes the definitive biography of Vladimir (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky. Many histories call Jabotinsky a great Jewish patriot and statesman, but to others he was an amoral terrorist. A man whose memory commands both reverent loyalty and fierce hatred at the same time, he is most certainly one of the giants of modern Jewish history, and one whose life story reads like a history of the creation of the State of Israel."
