Publisher's Summary
Modern Israel's founding fathers provided some of the boldest and most principled leadership of any nation - now Israel needs their example more than ever.
Modern Israel's founding fathers provided some of the boldest and most principled leadership of any nation. Now Israel needs their example more than ever. At a time when the political destiny of Israel is more uncertain than at any moment since its modern founding, Be Strong and of Good Courage celebrates the defining generation of leaders who took on the task of safeguarding the country's future.
David Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Rabin, and Ariel Sharon were all present at the creation of the new nation in 1948. Over the next 60 years, each experienced moments when the country's existence was directly imperiled. In those moments, Israel needed extraordinary acts of leadership and strategic judgment to secure its future, and these leaders rose to the occasion. The strength they showed allowed them to prevail.
Today, Israel may be on the verge of sacrificing the essential character that its greatest citizens fought to secure. This is the story of that epic struggle.
What the critics say
"Be Strong and of Good Courage is of great importance to understand the most intimate decision-making process of our leaders during pivotal points of our history...and to learn and gain insights for Israel's future historic decisions that must be taken." (Gadi Eisenkot, 21st chief of general staff of the Israel Defense Forces, 2015-2019)
"For those of us who care deeply about Israel and the US-Israel relationship, Ross and Makovsky have done a real service.... They tell the story of Ben-Gurion, Begin, Rabin and Sharon...[and] provide guidance for today's leaders in Israel and for all of us on the meaning of leadership." (Hillary Rodham Clinton, 67th US Secretary of State)
"A powerful statement on the style and principles of leadership that are critical for shaping the Middle East peace process." (Henry Kissinger, 56th US secretary of state)
