Summary: It Is Better Than One might Hope
Review: When a politician and general writes a biography, one does not know exactly what to expect. It is a great book, a page turner. I like biographies, I am not Jewish, but frankly this book is something special. He tells about the hardships faced by his hardy farmer parents in the pre 1948 Israel. This background formed his core beliefs and linkage to the soil of Israel. The historic and dominant role of Jews in the earlier days of Jerusalem and Palestine pre 1900, and then how he made his way through the founding of the state of Israel as a Jewish soldier - a novelty to people like Begin and Ben Gurion. The various wars, the 6 day war, the 73 disaster at the Suez, how he handled Gaza security, the southern Jordanian border security, his farm, his Arab employees, his political interaction with Begin, Dayan, Sadat, Bashir Gemayel and many more. He descibes his days as paratroop commander. He describes the tragedy of people that died by his side during the terrible battles. He is a hands on person that has survived many serious personal setbacks, challenges and hurdles. He went through the loss of family members and travelled to the New York courts to clear his name over the 1982-83 Lebanon battles and his expulsion from the cabinet minister of defence. He relates his troubles with the PLO and his plans for a future fair and democratic Israel where arabs and Jews would have equal rights. The book is an inspiration. He shows how one man could overcome many setbacks but go on do more than just survive. One can learn a lot by reading this book about Israel, the middle east, and human dignity.

Summary: Warrior: An Autobiography by Arial Sharon and David Chanof
Review: The author of this book is David Chanoff. He writes an autobiography
of the Israel Prime Minister. The Israeli prime minister Arial Sharon, was
born in Israel and is the main character of this book. At an early age he
had to go through hard time living in Israel. He than took part in the 1948 .
He was in danger of geting captured and killed. He also had to live in a place
where he was in danger of getting hit buy mortar shell. He was raised on a farm
and had to work hard very hard to keep it going. Problems were to survive in his
homeland. Overall he had some successes. My opinion My opinion of the book is that it is a very good book. Is it is field with adventures
and is really exciting. It is even more interesting to read it
because of the men in it are still living and doing the same thing.
My favorite part the book was the beginning I think the beginning is always
the most interesting. I would not change a thing in the book because it
is like if you change the recipe of a cake it would not come out the same. My recommendation I would recommend this book to kids over the age of 13 and I would
encourage them to read it. The kind of person who would like to read
this book is The kind of person who is interested in the Middle East, politics and in wars.
