Summary: The Other Side of a Misunderstood Leader
Comment: Ariel Sharon is so demonized by so many in the Arab world and Liberal Jews and Israelis that I sought this book to hear his side of his incredible career and life. Having spent most of his life fighting for Israel's survival and combatting terrorism in every war and conflict, he illuminates the problems Israel faces and the nature of its Arab opposition.
Like a true warrior he is a man of peace. Those who have been in the carnage of battle want to avoid it the most, but he has enough insight to understand that compromises and shortcuts to accomodate other's deadlines and agendas only means sending your grandchildren off to war.
His stories of being in the frontline of Israel's historic battles are gripping military history; and his rise from a neophyte poltician to Israel's Prime Minister provides a rich introduction to Israeli politics. His efforts to develop trade and agricultural ties throughout the world is less known than his military and political career, but very important among his contributions.
But most of all I wanted to hear his account of the Lebanese war and specifically the massacres in Sabra and Shatilla. I have always been bewildered at how the murder of Moslems by Christians would lead to the villanization of a Jew. He explained his view how he was sacrificed by the international pressures and Israel's own political parties.
The fact that he was able to rise from this poltical abyss to become prime minister is a remarkable achievement. There is far more depth to this man than his opponents would want us to believe.
This book was an excellent read a must for those trying to understand the complexities of modern Israel, and a fascinating biography of the leading player on the middle eastern stage.

Summary: What a remarkable man
Comment: This is an interesting book about a man who has led a truly varied and remarkable life. I am impressed with his memory for detail and his ability to explain events in his life with a sense of humor and with the maturity and professionalism most autobiographies lack. For a man so vilified in the press, he is remarkably human and sweet. If only all political autobiographies were this entertaining and detailed.

Summary: An absorbing book with details.............
Comment: Sharon reveals his life and his thoughts about Israel. Critics have condemned him as an evil man but he truly wants peace. He knows, however, his enemies are not willing to embrace peace, and until they are, he will always make certain Israel has the advantage. This strategy plays throughout his life and in heroic actions as an Israeli soldier. The life is truly amazing.
