Description: The historic elevation of Yitzhak Rabin to prime minister of ì
Israel in 1992 brought new hope for lasting peace in the Middle ì
East. His Labor party's triumph signaled a new attitude on the ì
part of the Israeli people, a desire for an end to decades of ì
wearying conflict.
Yet this man in whom so many have placed their hopes remains an ì
enigma. Rabin, a fierce and uncompromising military leader whose ì
actions as chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Forces during ì
the Six Day War led to Israeli control of the West Bank and the ì
Golan Heights, seemed poised to surrender at least part of those ì
gains in the name of peace.
Rabin emerges as a shy, diffident, even mysterious man, whose ì
changing fortunes seem to echo the contradictions within himself. ì
His first tenure as prime minister during the mid-1970s was ì
marked by both his resolute actions during the Entebbe hostage ì
crisis and his ignominious resignation as the result of a petty ì
financial scandal. Yet Rabin was returned to office at one of the ì
most crucial moments in Israel's history.Condition Information
