| Description: Brother Against Brother takes the reader through the critical turning
points of Israeli political history, and introduces us to the leaders
whose careers were baptized by blood. In a masterful blending of
narrative and historical analysis, Sprinzak begins with the Altalena
incident of June 1948, the first armed dispute between David Ben-
Gurion's Labor-led government and the right-wing paramilitary Irgun
organization, led by future prime minister Menachem Begin and
concludes with the Rabin assassination in 1995. |
