Books, Manuscripts
Shimon Peres, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and one of the towering figures of the 20th century, caps his legacy with this final book, completed shortly before his death - a majestic, intimate, and personal exploration of modern Israel's history and values that provides invaluable insights for its future. Peres, who arrived in Palestine as an 11-year-old in 1934, was one of Israel's most important founding fathers. Over the course of six decades, he served twice as Israel's Prime Minister, and held every senior cabinet position, including Foreign Minister, Minister of Defense and Minister of Finance. As the capstone to his career, Peres served seven years as the ninth President of the state he helped build. He was widely seen a global leader and inspiration, evidenced not only in his winning the Nobel Peace Prize but through his ongoing leadership of the Peres Center for Peace.
