A VERY GOOD MEMOIR

This was a very good book. It not only told about Rabin's rise to power but also about their life together, and the founding of Israel. I didn't agree with all of her political views but she did speak very highly of their life together. I read this in one day.

Read This Book in our Troubled Times

Leah Rabin died 12th November 2000 of Cancer 5 years after the Prime Minister Rabin was assassinated. This is a very good personal Story about The first 50 years of the State of Israel. This is why it should be read. In Tel-aviv and in Rabin Square You can find posters stuck up about the Intifada 2000 that say "This is not Peace, Friend". So the Incitement against Rabin and the Oslo agreements has not ended. For a academic book on the subject of Violence in Israeli Politics look at "Brother against Brother" by Sprinzak.

A must for reading Israeli Modern History

Leah writes from her personal view about Rabin and Israels History. I liked the book very much and I have Leah's signature on my Hebrew Copy. From a reader who is commited to carrying on with Rabins Legacy. We miss him.

I love this woman!

Leah Rabin is tough and gentle, a good wife and a good political partner. The story of my hero, her spouse, Yitzhak Rabin, brought tears to my eyes many times. The story is told not only of a war hero and politician, but of a life long love that has been lost. Even if you could care less about Israeli poltics, Leah Rabin's story can teach you lessons that we all need to learn
