Description
 
In this absorbing biography, the historian and acclaimed author brings into focus the life of one of the original founders of the State of Israel and its only female prime minister In this masterful biography, critically acclaimed author and Pulitzer Prize -nominated journalist Elinor Burkett looks beyond Golda Meir's well-known accomplishments to the complex motivations and ideals, personal victories and disappointments, of her charismatic public persona. To produce this definitive account of Meir's life, Burkett mined historical records never before examined by any researcher, and interviewed members of Meir's inner circle, many going on record for the first time. The result is an astounding portrait of one of the most commanding political presences of the 20th century -a woman whose uncompromising commitment to the creation and preservation of a Jewish state fueled and framed the ideological conflicts that still define Middle Eastern relations today.
