商品簡介
In this dramatic and inspiring look at the man who is today considered Israel's most revered prime minister, his close friend, American Zionist and philanthropist, Hart Hasten, shares his memories about Menachem Begin. Hasten, who first learned of Irgun leader Begin when Hasten was a young Holocaust survivor in the post-war DP camps of Europe, met his hero in Chicago in 1969. From there, a warm friendship developed as Begin became Hasten's mentor. Hasten went on to serve as Begin's prime political supporter in America and, upon Begin's election as prime minister in 1977, Hasten became his trusted advisor. The friendship endured and flourished during the years of seclusion following Begin's retirement from office. In "Menachem Begin Remembered," Hasten recounts a rich collection of memorable moments, both public and intimate, with the skill of a seasoned raconteur. In so doing, he has created a testimony that will serve as a lasting legacy of one of Israel's-and the world's- most beloved and respected leaders.
