Ben-Gurion, Eshkol, Berl Katzelnelson, Ernst Bergmann, Natan Alterman, , Yonathan Netanyahu

These portraits are of seven people , each of whom contributed in his own way to the building of modern Israel. Ben- Gurion, the great leader who declared the state and did more than any other person to bring it into being, Eshkol, the Labor leader who hesitated but led Israel to its Six- Day War victory, Bergmann who contributed to Israel's scientific and military prowess, Alterman the great poet - defender of the State, and Yoni Netanyahu, hero of Entebbe, a courageous soldier who gave his life in a dramatic military rescue operation. A wonderful collection of portraits, clearly and ably written.
