B-G: Fighter of Goliaths : The Story of David Ben-Gurion

Rating:
Summary: Amazing.
Review: Completely manipulative, devious, dishonest drivel...

Please look at the facts, side by side, while reading this book.

Summary: Hagiography
Review: This book is pure hagiography. Too uncritical to be of much value. Incidentally, passe what has been said elsewhere, the Nazis were not at all oppposed to the setting up of a jewish state in Palestine. On the contrary, it accorded with Nazi beliefs that Jews were "foreigners" in Germany and needed their "own" territory, being incompatible with any country they settled in. Although not true of Ben Gurion himself, many early Zionists were complicit with the Nazis.

Summary: The road to freedom
Review: This is the moving story of the man who secured for the Jewish people, rightfully, a homeland. The establishment of the state of Israel was trully miraculous considering the opposition by the Goliaths of the world, namely the Nazis and the inheritors of Nazi ideology, the Palestinians and numerous Arab states. Ben Gurion was a warrior poet.
