A State at Any Cost
2019 National Jewish Book Award Finalist "[A] fascinating biography . . . a masterly portrait of a titanic yet unfulfilled man . . . this is a gripping study of power, and the loneliness of power." —The Economist As the founder of Israel, David Ben-Gurion long ago secured his reputation as a leading figure of the twentieth century.

David Ben-Gurion, the State of Israel and the Arab World, 1949-1956
A specialist in the Arab-Israeli conflict and Israel's defense policy, Shalom (Ben-Gurion U.) looks at the first prime minister's views on politics and security and the forces that shaped his positions regarding the Arab world between the War of Independence and the Sinai campaign.
