This biography of Yatzak Rabin by Itamar Rabinovitch (professor, university president, and colleague of Rabin) is another excellent addition to Yale University Press’ “Jewish Lives” series. The author has crafted a well-written overview of the life of an important Israeli military and political leader. Beginning with Rabin’s birth in Jewish Palestine (He would become the first native-born prime minister of Israel.), Rabinovitch examines Rabin’s education, time in the Palmach during the War of Independence, transfer after the war to the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), rise to the position of chief of staff prior to the Six-Day War of June 1967, successful tour as Israeli ambassador to the United States, entry into politics and failed prime ministership, rehabilitation, and second role as prime minister. His second prime ministership saw an agreement with Yasir Arafat and the Palestinians and a treaty with Jordan. Rabin’s peace efforts culminated in his assassination on 4 November 1995. Rabin was no dove; his willingness to make concessions for peace was based on the nation’s security needs. The author deals adeptly with the long-running feud between Rabin and Simon Peres for leadership of the Labor Party. Ironically, at the point which both men decided that they could accomplish more by working together—with Rabin as leader of the Labor Party and Peres as second in leadership—Rabin was murderedRabinovitch is at his best in the section on Rabin’s assassination and its aftermath. A number of people both within and outside of Israel believed that the heated rhetoric over the Oslo Accords, especially from the West Bank settlers and the religious right, would likely result in an attempt on Rabin’s life. A number of Israelis put the “Land of Israel” above the “State of Israel.” They labeled Rabin a traitor to Israel and the Jewish people, even sanctioning his murder based on an old Jewish law. Likud politician Benjamin Netanyahu (the current prime minister) poured gasoline on the fire, but after Rabin’s assassination, he distanced himself from any blame for helping create this volatile atmosphere. The assassin was a religious radical. The investigation of the assassination, however, ignored the assassin’s religious and political views, concentrating instead on the security lapses.Peres became prime minister and continued peace talks with the Palestinians and Syria. Instead of having an immediate election, he waited six months. Two weeks before the vote, Hamas attacks killed nearly 60 Israelis in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, convincing many Israelis that the Palestinians could not be trusted to police their own people. These acts of terror returned Likud to power, the country began a move to the right, and the peace process was gradually discarded. Peace today is much harder to achieve than in 1995 because West Bank settlements have expanded and new ones have been added. The author concludes that Rabin’s death was a watershed for Israel because in the end “the assassin and his camp were in fact rewarded for the crime.” (239)I would have liked to have seen more citations. Two points here. First, in the “Acknowledgments” the author mentions “the benefit of personal interviews and conversations with a large number [40] of individuals.” (252) These interviews are only referenced in one endnote. Thus, how did these interviews benefit Rabinovitch? Second, in the section on the Entebbe raid (128-32), only two sources are cited—Rabin Memoirs and Amos Shifris’ Rabin’s First Government, 1974-1977. Surely a biography of Peres or Yoni Netanyahu (the only IDF fatality at Entebbe) or Saul David’s Operation Thunderbolt could have added something to this section. Nevertheless, this concern does not detract from an otherwise first-rate biography of Rabin. If I could, I would give the book 4.5 stars, but since the choice is a 4 or 5, I went with 4.

Itamar Rabinovich’s brilliant account of Yitzhak Rabin’s life and career is both a masterly historical monograph and a gripping first-person account of Rabin’s second term as Israeli prime minister. Given that Rabinovich worked intimately with Rabin during those epochal final years, eventually in Rabin’s own former position as Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, these latter sections of the book are not only a page-turning treat for the general reader but will, one assumes, comprise an important primary source for historians and political scientists as well. The book also contains the most trenchant summary I’ve read of the complex, ultimately lethal circumstances that underlay and permitted Rabin’s assassination, an analysis that is no less heartbreaking for being sober and clear-eyed. The book, though inevitably pierced through with a sense of loss and of what might have been, leaves one with at least some hope that Rabin’s indomitability, along with his biographer’s sensitivity and intellectual rigor, will prevail in the end.

I read this book with great pleasure and interest. It's a realistic biography of the life of Rabin by a knowledgeable writer who has worked together with Rabin. It teaches us not only about his life, his character and his achievements and failures, but also about the political climate in Israël and also the USA during his period. I do recommend this book very much.

In addition to providing detailed insights into Rabin's life and times, Rabinovich's book exhibits the kind of first-hand knowledge that can only come from direct involvement with the man and the events. At times I felt I was being brought into the room to watch events unfold, leaders interact, and important national and international decisions be taken.

Informative, honest and respectful of Yitzhak Rabin.

Yitzhak Rabin: Soldier, Leader, Statesman by Itamar Rabinovich is a biography of the famous Israeli politician. Mr. Rabinovich is a political operative who worked with Mr. Rabin.This biography of the Israeli persona, an account of Mr. Rabin’s career and life as a solider and statesman. Mr. Rabinovich worked with Mr. Rabin late in his career and even held the same post, that of Israel’s ambassador to the United States.The book’s most impressive part comes as a first-person account of Mr. Rabin’s second term as the Israeli Prime Minister. The author was witness to history and his narrative is fascinating, the insights are thoughtful , and the deductions are enlightening.I still remember the day that Mr. Rabin passed away from an assassin’s bullet. I was not in Israel, but on a comfortable couch in New Jersey, however I felt as if I was in another world. After all Israel, “the light to be cast unto the nations” as David Ben-Gurion (Israel’s first Prime Minister) said, is not a country where political leaders are assassinated. At the time no one understood how such a tragedy could happen. A Jewish Prime Minister, assassinated by a Jewish man, in a Jewish state, surrounded by bodyguards and an adoring crowd.Mr. Rabinovich wrote an outstanding summary which attempts to inform the reader of the complex circumstances which allowed a man to feel as if he was permitted to pull the trigger and murder a person in cold blood. Putting his emotions to the side, the author’s analysis is straightforward and thoughtful.The author talks about Mr. Rabin’s many achievements, as well as his failures, his personality traits (both positive and negative), and the person he was, not just the public figure. The book is engrossing and an important primary source for future generations to study.
