Summary: Honest & Simple
Review: Yitzhak Rabin's republished memoirs in the wake of his death provide an interesting insight into both his personal travails as well as accounts Israel's torrid history. He starts simply enough with his childhood, but quickly moves onto the events that have shaped both his live and Israel's. They include the war for independence, the Six Day War, his tenure as Israeli Ambassador to the US, and ultimately his achieving the position of Prime Minister. He covers his transition from a military leader, where the objectives are clear, to a diplomat, where gains and losses are less precise. His writing style is simple and lucid. The book is enjoyable not so much for the story it tells as for the intimate details Rabin provides concerning his relationships with monumental figures of the time such as Henry Kissinger, Richard Nixon, Golda Meir and others. He is complimentary towards Kissinger, his mentor in many regards, but does not fail to describe the moments of tension that ensued from many ups and downs. Rabin is also very forthcoming with candid remarks concerning his longtime rivalry with Shimon Perez. He gives an honest description of what it required to jockey both the White House, Congress, as well as a supportive Jewish contingent in the United States. His time spent in Washington coincided with the domestic turmoil regarding Vietnam. As a representative of Israel many of his lectures and appearances did not go without the mar of protests. He gives and enlightening account of a troubled time in America as an outsider. His description of his Washington time is perhaps the most interesting section for Americans. The newly published version also includes some of his more recent speeches, including the one he gave at a rally immediately preceding his tragic death. It is well worth the read.
