Produktbeskrivning
The definitive biography of Israel''s founder by one of Israel''s most celebrated historians.
As the founder of Israel, David Ben-Gurion long ago secured his reputation as a leading figure of the twentieth century. Determined from an early age to create a Jewish state, he took control of the Zionist movement, declared Israel''s independence, and navigated his country through wars, controversies and remarkable achievements.
In this definitive biography, Tom Segev uses previously unreleased archival material to give an original, nuanced account that transcends the myths and legends that have built up around the manHe reveals Ben-Gurion''s secret negotiations with the British on the eve of Israel''s independence, his willingness to countenance the forced transfer of Arab neighbors, his relative indifference to Jerusalem, and his occasional eccentric moments – from UFO sightings to plans for Israel to acquire territory in South America.
The result is a full and startling portrait of a man who sought a state ''at any cost'' – at times through risk-taking, violence, and unpredictability, and at other times through compromise, moderation and reasonSegev''s Ben-Gurion is neither a saint nor a villain but a twentieth-century leader whose iron will and complex temperament left a contentious legacy, and one of the world''s most intractable national conflicts.
Praise for A State at Any Cost:
''A must for anybody interested in both the glorious and the dark pages of the history of Zionism and Israel, as reflected throughout the life and times of the Jewish State''s most important founding father'' SAUL FRIEDLÄNDER
''The story of a hard-headed, pragmatic and ruthless politician, told without sentimentality or nostalgiaIt also serves as a key to understanding today''s Israel, which is still very much Ben-Gurion''s creation'' THE TIMES
''Fascinating... A masterly portrait of a titanic yet unfulfilled man... This is a gripping study of power, and the loneliness of power'' THE ECONOMIST
