The greatest Jerusalem mayor

Teddy has been the greatest Jerusalem mayor in modern times. For more than thirty years he worked unceasingly to build the city . Museum Row is just one of his creations. He in many ways is responsible for modernizing the city, and upgrading its services.In this autobiography he tells of his early years in Vienna, his Zionism, his Aliyah, his work during the War of Independance in helping acquire arms for Israel, his connection with Ben- Gurion and above all his story as mayor of Jerusalem. This is a moving story of a remarkable public figure who was at one point perhaps the most famous mayor in the world, and the most beloved in his own city.
