In this sweeping volume, Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu recounts growing up in Israel and America, the prominent legacy of his family in the birth of Zionism, his service in an elite unit of the Israeli Defense Forces, and the devastating impact of the death of his brother Yoni, who was killed while leading his men in the historic rescue of 102 hostages in Entebbe, Uganda. He provides his singular perspective on the geopolitics of the Middle East, his successful efforts to modernize the Israeli economy, and his negotiations with Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Trump to secure the future of his country.

This powerful, heartfelt and eloquently written account from the longest-serving prime minister in Israel’s history weaves together his gripping personal story with the dramatic history of Israel and the Jewish people.

“My story is one of tragedy and triumph, setbacks and successes, lessons learned and loved ones cherished. It is woven with that of Israel, which has proven that faith and resolve can overcome insurmountable odds to forge a brilliant future. I am thrilled to share my story with all those who seek to live a life of purpose.”
