A landmark work of political memoir and modern history, Israel: A Personal History is the definitive account of the founding and early decades of the State of Israel, written by the man most responsible for its creation. David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first and longest-serving Prime Minister, chronicles the extraordinary journey of a people and a nation — from the earliest stirrings of Zionist settlement through the War of Independence and the turbulent years of statehood. Drawing on his unparalleled firsthand experience as a statesman, soldier, and visionary, Ben-Gurion presents the inner workings of government, military strategy, and diplomatic struggle with rare authority and candour. The narrative is both a sweeping historical document and an intensely personal testament, illuminating the ideals, sacrifices, and fierce determination that transformed an ancient dream into a modern reality. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the political and cultural foundations of the modern Middle East.
