From his involvement at age 16 in the Haganah to the rancor-filled election of 1988, here is the biography of one of Israel's leading politicians. This is a story of domestic and international drama, filled with the hopes of a man who has contributed so much to his country's place in the world. From Wikipedia: "Shimon Peres (2 August 1923) is a Polish-born Israeli statesman. He is the ninth and current President of the State of Israel. Peres served twice as the Prime Minister of Israel and twice as Interim Prime Minister, and has been a member of 12 cabinets in a political career spanning over 66 years. Peres was elected to the Knesset in November 1959 and, except for a three-month-long hiatus in early 2006, served continuously until 2007, when he became President. He held several diplomatic and military positions during and directly after Israel's War of Independence. His first high-level government position was as Deputy Director-General of Defense in 1952, and Director-General from 1953 until 1959. During his career, he has represented five political parties in the Knesset: Mapai, Rafi, the Alignment, Labor and Kadima, and has led Alignment and Labor. Peres won the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize together with Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat for the peace talks that he participated in as Israeli Foreign Minister, producing the Oslo Accords. Peres was nominated in early 2007 by Kadima to run in that year's presidential election, and was elected by the Knesset to the presidency on 13 June 2007 and sworn into office on 15 July 2007 for a seven-year term. He is the first former Prime Minister to be elected President of Israel. In 2008, Peres was honorarily appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George. At the age of 90, Peres is currently the world's oldest head of state." Very good in very good dust jacket. DJ has slight wear and soiling.…
