Bibi: My Story

Product Information

In Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu’s “compelling” ( The Economist) and “fascinating” ( The Wall Street Journal) New York Times bestselling autobiography, the prime minister of Israel tells the story of his family, his path to leadership, and his unceasing commitment to defending his country and securing its future. It is an interesting life narrative as well as historical narrative of Israel's rise on the world's stage. It goes back to the mists of the Abrahamic covenant, the exodus from Egyptian slavery, the conquest of pagan Canaanite tribes descendant from Noah, and the Davidic Kingdom, whose star waves on the Israeli flag today over the city of Jerusalem, which was first made capital under King David. To read this autobiography is to read the history of Israel and its growth into one of the strongest nations in the world. From their earliest days, Bibi and his close-knit brothers, Yoni and Iddo, were instilled with purpose.

His understanding of which ends are the significant levers for the country and deft maneuvering to achieve the prosperity and safety of Israel is nothing short of remarkable. Reading Bibi: My Story, however inadequately named, gives an engaging overview of the man, the history of Israel, the domestic Israeli political arena, the American-Israeli alliance and the love of Zion shared by Jewish people around the world. I lack the expertise to judge the book on the accuracy of its portrayal of Israel, its history, or its current policies.

Born in the wake of the Holocaust at the dawn of Israel's independence and raised in a family with a prominent Zionist history, they understood that the Jewish state was a hard-won and still precarious gift.

After reading Kushner’s account of the Abraham Accord, Bibi’s accounting added the much need Israeli perspective. In December 2006, Netanyahu became the official Opposition Leader in the Knesset and Chairman of the Likud Party. He clearly glosses over some glaringly blatant controversies throughout his entire career like he's affair with Fleur Cates and him cheating on Sarah in the 90s with his makeup artist. I have always been a great admirer of Netanyahu and would highly recommend this book to anyone, whether you like him or not, as this book is rich in the history of the Jewish community, Israel, and the Middle East.The boys grow up with their father’s career taking them between Israel and the United States, into young men and serve in the armed forces for Israel, when personal tragedy strikes the family. Bibi also spoke about John Kerry and his actions in December 2016 to convince Israeli politicians that no peace agreements can be reached with Arab counties until the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was resolved. Netanyahu’s upbringing and education in both Israel and the United States, his own military service with a branch of Israel’s special forces, the Sayeret Maktal, his entry into business and then Israel’s diplomatic service in Washington during the Reagan administration, and, of course, his various terms as Prime Minister and leader of the opposition.

From a purely literary point of view, this is without doubt the best autobiography written by an Israeli prime minister . I thought I knew a lot about the history of Israel, but this book helped me realize how little I really know. Chapter 63: COVID 2019-2012, where many have strong reservations about his decisions to pursue full vaccination herd immunity, was revelatory of Mr.Although writing a book of this length is an achievement, the writing is plodding, despite the exciting things he's lived through. He challenges Obama’s stances toward Iran and the Palestinians but stays mum about Trump aiming a tart “fuck him” his way, for congratulating President Biden. It is the story of a leader with a dream and the team he inspired, encouraged, and led to achieve that dream.
