  1. 1. A State At Any Cost

    The Life of David Ben-Gurion

    A sweeping, revisionist biography of Israel’s founding leader that traces his rise from socialist Zionist activist to the pragmatic, often ruthless architect of statehood; it examines how his determination to build and secure a Jewish state shaped institutions, military and diplomatic choices, and policies toward Arabs and dissenters, revealing the moral and political costs of those decisions while challenging hagiographic myths about his character and legacy.
