This book hit way above my expectations. I was expecting a boring insight into the life and times of Ali Hassan Salameh, but boy, was I way wrong!. It provides a stunning account of his life starting from his father and down to his activities until his untimely death by the Mossad. It's action packed all the way,with a fluent and captivating style of writing by the authors. After reading "The Hunt For The Engineer" which was virtually boring and could be considered Israelli Propaganda, I find this book highly entertaining. A great buy for those interested in the life and times of a flamboyant terrorist during the 70's.

bar zohar describes in his book the actual hunt for the red prince. the writing style is fluent and captures the reader until the very end. in the book, bar zohar describes how the israeli mosad (like the cia)tried, and eventualy succeeded, to catch the red prince, who master-minded many deadly terorrist atacks on israeli targets. the book describes in a detective like story the hunt, the failures, and the joy of the sweet revenge at the end of the hunt. a great book even if it were just fiction, but greater because it is true.

I was shopping for a book on Mr. Begin because I had just finished 'the Revolt' written by him. I wanted a general biography covering the post war years and the struggle in the Political realm as well as details of his decision to invade lebanon and the peace with Egypt. This book, although it details his life, is profoundly popular history. IN effect a new biography needs to be written on Begin because it is hard to find a good one.

This was a very good biography of Menachim Begin. This book tells of his earlier career when he was a member of the group
Irgin and was actually wanted dead or alive by the British
government.You will also learn od some of the actions that he

politician.His career in the Knesset as a minority member and a
literal backbencher is well documented.His election as Prime

Minister of Israel is also well covered.The author writes about
the Camp David peace accords and the bombing of the Iraqi nuclear
reactor. You will also learn of Begin winning the Nobel Peace prize. A very good book on the life of Israel.You will enjoy it.
