Synopsis

In the months that have passed since his retirement as Israel's controversial, long-time Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir has set down the story of his extraordinary life from the years of conspiracy and deep cover in the underground which fought for Jewish independence in the Palestine of the 1940s, to the decade he spent in the shadows of the Mossad, to his emergence into national and international prominence. He discloses his own view of present-day Israel, of US-Israeli relations, and of the intricacies and pitfalls of the peace process, and reveals the little-known origins, philosophy and heroes of Israel's right wing. Finally Shamir analyzes the rewards, hazards and price of public service in one of the world's most read-about and talked-about countries. This is the story of one of the most important figures in the Middle East - in his own words.
