Benjamin Netanyahu : Leading the Way for Israel Cover Image

Benjamin Netanyahu : Leading the Way for Israel / by Elisa Silverman.

Silverman, Elisa, (author.).

Summary:

"Israel's youngest prime minister, as well as its longest serving prime minister, with the exception of Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion. Netanyahu has puzzled and amazed both his supporters and critics. He has experienced success, failure, and then success again. He believes in and has fought for a strong Israel, as a military, political, and economic power. Netanyahu was born into an actively Zionist family whose own history mirrors that of Israel, her strengths and her struggles. A son, brother, scholar, soldier, and politician--each of these roles have shaped the leader Bibi is today"--Provided by publisher.
