Bibi
The Turbulent Life and Times of Benjamin Netanyahu
Basic Books, 2018
What's inside?
Principled and prickly, Benjamin Netanyahu won’t budge on his rigid worldview.
Recommendation
In this detailed retelling of Benjamin Netanyahu’s life – including his childhood, his relationships with his father and brothers, his military service and his political rise – journalist Anshell Pfeffer paints the Israeli prime minister as uncompromising to a fault. Under Netanyahu, Palestinian peace is unlikely, Pfeffer reports, as is any sort of right-left coalition. Pfeffer occasionally defends Netanyahu, as when he absolves the prime minister of responsibility for Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination; but in general, he paints Netanyahu as a hard-edged leader who prefers to rule without dissent.
