À propos de cet audio

The Prime Ministers is the first and only insider account of Israeli politics from the founding of the Jewish State to the near-present day. It reveals stunning details of life-and-death decision-making, top-secret military operations and high level peace negotiations. The Prime Ministers brings listeners into the orbits of world figures, including Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Rabin, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Henry Kissinger, Yasser Arafat, Margaret Thatcher, Princess Diana and the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

Written in a captivating literary style by a political adviser, speechwriter and diplomat, The Prime Ministers is an enthralling political memoir, and a precisely crafted prism through which to view current Middle East affairs. The Prime Ministers presents first-hand accounts of major historical events, including:

  • Menachem Begin's decision to bomb Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor
  • Yitzhak Rabin's handling of the Entebbe rescue mission
  • The Egypt-Israel peace process
  • The shelling of the Irgun arms ship, the Altalena Deir Yessin

It offers keen observations of key personalities, and unforgettable descriptions of political rivalries, diplomatic blunders, White House and Buckingham Palace banquets and more, to bring Israel's history to life in a way no book has done before.

Fascinating account of Israel's history and politics, a must read for anyone wishing to get better aquatinted with the topic. The book is structured as a flowing narrative and reads nothing like a dry history textbook. Really enjoyable listen and extremely informative. Avner's close and personal involvement brings an acute degree of humanity to the narrative.

A must read

This is not the first time I have encountered the same narration problem. I don't know what criteria you select your narrators, but this is the second time a narrator has completely botched the pronunciation of foreign language words/phrases. I am fluent in the foreign language of this book, and it is a painful experience to listen to.

Narration spoils an otherwise great listen.
