Ariel Sharon (1928–2014)

One of the most controversial personalities of the 20th Century, the lion of Judah in his own words. His uncompromising belief in the defense of Israel and the Jewish people animates this autobiography. Critics and fans of Sharon alike should read this book, which spans virtually all of Israeli history. Sharon was an eye-witness and participant in every major Arab-Israeli war starting with 1948. His view surely counts for something.

NO OF PAGES: 569 SUB CAT I: Biography SUB CAT II: History SUB CAT III: Jewish Wars DESCRIPTION: Israel's newest prime minister as of February 6, 2001, Ariel Sharon is a dynamic and controversial leader. A hero in Israel's wars, perhaps the most daring and successful commander in Israel's extraordinary military history, Sharon has always been a warrior, whether the enemies were hostile Arab nations, terrorists, Time magazine, or rival politicians. The public man is well known-aggressive in show more battle, hard-line in politics-but the private mans has always been obscured by Sharon's dazzling career and powerful personality. In this compelling and dramatic autobiography, the real Sharon appears for the first time: a complex man, a loving father, a figure of courage and compassion. He is a warrior who commands the respect and love of his troops, a visionary, and an uncompromising, ruthless pragmatist. Sharon tells his story with frankness, power, intelligence, and a brilliant gift for detail. Always controversial, he is as outspoken as his friends-and enemies-would expect him to be. Ariel Sharon, born in Palestine in 1928, participated in all of Israel's wars, rising to become one of Israel's best known and most daring generals. In politics in the last twenty-five years, he has served under Yitzhak Rabin, Menachem Begin, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Shamir, and Benjamin Netanyahu. On February 6, 2001, Sharon defeated Ehud Barak to become the eleventh prime minister of Israel.NOTES: Purchased from Barnes & Noble SUBTITLE: The Autobiography of Ariel Sharon show less
