In Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu's sweeping, moving autobiography, one
of the most formidable and insightful leaders of our time tells the
story of his family, his path to leadership, and his unceasing
commitment to defending Israel and securing its future. From their
earliest days, Bibi and his close-knit brothers, Yoni and Iddo,
were instilled with purpose. Born in the wake of the Holocaust at
the dawn of Israel's independence and raised in a family with a
prominent Zionist history, they understood that the Jewish state
was a hard-won and still precarious gift. All three studied in
American high schools-where they learned to appreciate the United
States-before returning to their cherished homeland. The brothers
joined an elite special forces outfit of the Israeli Defense Forces
known as "the Unit." At twenty-two, Bibi was wounded while leading
his team in the rescue of hostages from a hijacked plane. Four
years later, in 1976, Yoni was killed in Entebbe, Uganda, while
leading his men in one of the most daring hostage-rescue missions
in modern times. Yoni became a legend; Bibi felt he would never
recover from his grief. Yet, inspired by Yoni's legacy and guided
by the wisdom of his visionary historian father, Bibi thrust
himself into the international struggle against terrorism,
ultimately becoming the longest-serving prime minister in Israel's
history. In this memoir Bibi weaves together his gripping personal
story with the dramatic history of Israel and the Jewish people.
Through a host of vivid anecdotes, he narrates his own evolution
from soldier to statesman, while providing a unique perspective on
leadership, the fraught geopolitics of the Middle East, and his
successful efforts to liberate Israel's economy, which helped turn
it into a global powerhouse of technological innovation. Netanyahu
gives colorful, detailed, and revealing accounts of his often
turbulent relationships and negotiations with Presidents Clinton,
Obama, and Trump. With eye-opening candor, he delves into the back
channels of high diplomacy-including his struggle against the
radical forces that threaten Israel and the world at large, and the
decisive events that led to Israel's groundbreaking 2020 peace
agreements with four Arab states. Offering an unflinching account
of a life, a family, and a nation, Netanyahu writes from the heart
and embraces controversy head-on. Steely and funny, high-tempo and
full of verve, this autobiography will stand as a defining
testament to the value of political conviction and personal
courage.
