A propos de cet article

571, [3] pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Map. Index. A hero in each of Israel's wars, architect of the country's controversial invasion of Lebanon, Ariel Sharon frankly and brilliantly tells of his life. Ariel Sharon (February 1928 11 January 2014) was an Israeli general and politician who served as the prime minister of Israel from March 2001 until April 2006. From the 1970s through to the 1990s, Sharon championed construction of Israeli settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. He became the leader of the Likud in 1999, and in 2000, amid campaigning for the 2001 prime ministerial election, made a controversial visit to the Al-Aqsa complex on the Temple Mount, triggering the Second Intifada. David Chanoff (born November 15, 1943, in Philadelphia) is an American author of non-fiction work. His work has typically involved collaborations with the principal protagonist of the work concerned. His collaborators have included Augustus A. White, Joycelyn Elders, oàn V n To i, William J. Crowe, Ariel Sharon, Kenneth Good and Felix Zandman, among others. He has also written about a wide range of subjects including literary history, education and foreign for The Washington Post, The New Republic and The New York Times Magazine. Chanoff founded Sudbury Valley School in Framingham, Massachusetts in 1968. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he taught English at Tufts University and Harvard University. In 2015, Chanoff's Breaking Ground: My Life in Medicine, co-written with Louis W. Sullivan, won the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work Biography/Autobiography. Derived from a Kirkus review: An essential historical record of Israel's quintessential farmer-soldier-politician. Sharon's pro-nationalist autobiography is, of course, as politically expedient as Amos Permutter's The Life and Times of Menachem Begin (1987) was anti-nationalist. But unlike the books hailing the life and times of Ben Gurion, Dayan, Herzog, or Rabin, this one is about a key player in the future of this country with a leadership gap. Only "Arik" Sharon and Rabbi Meir Kahane gather young, enthusiastic crowds who shout "King of Israel." While a crown may not be in the offing, Sharon's undisguised ambition here sounds less obsessive and more altruistic when seen as an extension of his passion for defending, and settling the land. Young Ariel emerges as a sincere but somewhat driven enthusiast who seems to have inherited his fierce independence from his courageous parents. Typical of his Patton-tank persona, Sharon lets us see the concerned father. The reader sees only the professional man whose passions move from plowshare to sword and from tank to bulldozer. To the book's credit, however, a fourth of the pages are devoted to the Lebanon War's thorns and far less to the roses of 1967 and 1973. It's an articulate and informative statement from a major contender. First Touchstone Edition [stated], First Printing [stated].…
