About this listen
In Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu’s “compelling” (The Economist) and “fascinating” (The Wall Street Journal) New York Times bestselling autobiography, the prime minister of Israel tells the story of his family, his path to leadership, and his unceasing commitment to defending his country and securing its future.
From their earliest days, Bibi and his close-knit brothers, Yoni and Iddo, were instilled with purpose. Born in the wake of the Holocaust at the dawn of Israel’s independence and raised in a family with a prominent Zionist history, they understood that the Jewish state was a hard-won and still precarious gift. All three studied in American high schools—where they learned to appreciate the United States—before returning to their cherished homeland.
The brothers joined an elite special forces outfit of the Israeli Defense Forces known as “the Unit.” At twenty-two, Bibi was wounded while leading his team in the rescue of hostages from a hijacked plane. Four years later, in 1976, Yoni was killed in Entebbe, Uganda, while leading his men in one of the most daring hostage-rescue missions in modern times. Yoni became a legend; Bibi felt he would never recover from his grief. Yet, inspired by Yoni’s legacy and guided by the wisdom of his visionary historian father, Bibi thrust himself into the international struggle against terrorism, ultimately becoming the longest-serving prime minister in Israel’s history—an honor he further cemented by winning reelection in 2022.
In this memoir Bibi weaves together his gripping personal story with the dramatic history of Israel and the Jewish people. Through a host of vivid anecdotes, he narrates his own evolution from soldier to statesman, while providing a unique perspective on leadership, the fraught geopolitics of the Middle East, and his successful efforts to liberate Israel’s economy, which helped turn it into a global powerhouse of technological innovation.
Netanyahu gives colorful, detailed, and revealing accounts of his often turbulent relationships and negotiations with Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Trump. With eye-opening candor, he delves into the back channels of high diplomacy—including his struggle against the radical forces that threaten Israel and the world at large, and the decisive events that led to Israel’s groundbreaking 2020 peace agreements with four Arab states.
Offering an unflinching account of a life, a family, and a nation, Netanyahu writes from the heart and embraces controversy head-on. Steely and funny, high-tempo and full of verve, this autobiography will stand as a defining testament to the value of political conviction and personal courage.

Almost another book of Tanach
Covering such a long span of Israel's recent history, it is essential reading for all students of Zionism.

Narcissistic Self Proclaiming Commercial
Wow, what an unbelievable waste of time! There are a few very interesting chapters but “Bibi” takes credit for everything in this world including the creation pf The State of Israel… This came out ahead of his another attempt on political career and look at how the Israeli people took it…

Great book by a great man from a great nation
A tremendous journey through a pivotal life in a crucial period of the Jewish nation. Truly a man born “for such a time as this.”

A true leader.
An extraordinary individual.
MIT graduate, Sayeret Matkal, IDF special forces, his premiership saw the restoration of Jerusalem as the nation's capital.
The 300-seat Knesset, with multiple parties, is a roller coaster of government. Yet Bibi has become one the most enduring political figures on the world stage.

Brilliant autobiography by a brilliant man.
Oct 7th 2023 may have shocked the West but to Israel it was another obscene abomination of the sort experienced throughout its history. When invertebrates like Starmer can be leader of the worlds 6th largest economy it makes me wonder what we could achieve with someone like Bibi.
