- Summary:
-
Beginning with the brutal murder of her husband before her eyes, Leah Rabin recounts in clear-sighted detail the events of her forty-eight years with Rabin, from their dramatic courtship during service in the Palmach, the elite strike force of the underground Jewish army, to their marriage during the 1948 War of Independence; from his ascent as a brilliant military tactician and his role as chief of staff of Israel's armed forces during the breathtaking victories of the 1967 Six Day War, to his entry into political life, first as Israeli ambassador to the United States, then as cabinet minister to Golda Meir after the Yom Kippur War, and later as Israel's sixth and then youngest prime minister in 1974.
