Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas. The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas and its most popular leader, young Mosab assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his legacy, politics, status...and power. But everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence and embraced instead the teachings of another famous Middle East leader.

Engrossing story of a life and culture
Revisado: 10-27-21
Gripping autobiography from the ultimate insider revealing the mindset of Palestinians, Israelis, and Hamas and life in the West Bank. He is critical of intransigence among his fellow Palestinians while revealing their quandary and betrayal by their leadership. Not anti-Israeli, instead anti-hatred and violence.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 46
In this definitive biography, Israel's leading journalist-historian, Tom Segev, uses large amounts of previously unreleased archival material to give an original, nuanced account, transcending the myths and legends that have accreted around Ben-Gurion. Segev's probing biography ranges from the villages of Poland to Manhattan libraries, London hotels, and the hills of Palestine, and shows us Ben-Gurion's relentless activity across six decades.

Ben Gurion’s life in detail
Revisado: 03-27-20
Detailed telling of Ben Gurion’s activities throughout his life with insightful analysis of his character and behavior and informed speculation about his motives and driving forces. The author wrote in Hebrew and assumes the reader already is knowledgeable about the wider events in Israeli history and politics. A person without this background will be lost at times, as context is not given. Why political leaders kept begging him to remain as or return to being prime minister is not examined.
The reader of the book is dreadful. He butchers any nonEnglish word, including the name Ben Gurion, by pronouncing it in a language of his own devising, never close to correct. He decided that any Jew, regardless of whether they were male or female, or born in Israel, Poland, Germany, or the USA, talks like Count Dracula. As a large potion of the book is foreign names, places, or quotations, this parody is constantly jarring. He would have done much better by sticking to his American accent. I am left knowing much more about Ben Gurion and his central role in Israel, but disliking him and not understanding why Israelis so wanted him to remain their leader.
