And six former secretaries of state — Henry Kissinger, James A. Baker, Lawrence Eagleburger, Alexander Haig, William Rogers, and Cyrus Vance — described him to me as one of the greatest national leaders they had ever dealt with. ... "Still, a few other American lead- other tides, Kurzman began this book within days after the Rabin assassina- tion in 1995, at the suggestion of his publisher. Among the more than 200 people he interviewed are politicians, military figures, old friends, American officials, professors and several whose names were kept out of the news, such as Yosi Ginosar, "Rabin's secret link to the PLO." A realist and a pragmatist. Kurzman reports that during the 1980s, Ginosar, an Arabic-speaking former Shin Bet official, represented Rabin in "direct and ultra-secret con- tacts" to the Palestinian Liberation Organization, although such meetings were then illegal. Ginosar told the author that Rabin was thinking of making a deal with the PLO as early as 1988. He also interviewed Giora Eini, a trade union lawyer who served as an ongoing behind-the-scenes mediator between Rabin and Shimon Peres. "If it hadn't been for him," the author says, "I don't know if the government would have survived." Trusted by both men, Eini visited with Rabin in his Tel Aviv apartment on the morning of the assassination. Kurzman credits Rabin with deep- ening Israel's relationship with the United. States in his years as arnbas- sa.der, 1968 to 1973, shifting the U.S. from a friendly nation to a security partner. • MATZO BALL SOUP • MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP • STUFFED CABBAGE • APPLE STRUDEL • PICKLED TROUT ■ NE ers were less impressed with him. At a White House dinner meeting with President Jimmy Carter, Rabin did not hide his feelings when Carter made a proposal he strongly took issue with. After dinner, when the President asked his guest whether he would like to hear his daughter, Amy, play the piano, the reply was succinct: "No!" In another, perhaps unintention- al, affront to the president, Rabin ground a cigarette stub into the car- pet. • GARLIC DRESSING • GEFILTE FISH • POTATO KNISHES • VEGETARIAN CHOPPER LIVER • SPINACH KNISHES • RAISIN KUGEL • TURKEY KNISHES • DILL DRESSING AND SO MUCH MORE! 10 r I I I I I L MMI OFF L OUR NEW STYLE DAIRY & DELI TRAYS !

Kurzman also chronicles Rabin's long friendship with King Hussein, beginning in the early 1970s. Rabin is portrayed as a realist and pragmatist, a man who had difficulties making decisions but once made, had utter determination to achieve his goals. His wartime experiences affect- ed him deeply; he felt personally responsible for Israel's soldiers. "He spoke from his heart. No other politi- cian engendered such a feeling of trust. He was compulsively honest," Kurzman says. Kurzman last saw Rabin during the 1992 campaign. At the end of their interview, Rabin told him, "You can write that if we win, I'll make peace within nine months of taking office." Included are 16 pages of pho- tographs; the cover photo is Rabin at age 18, in his last year at Kadouri Agricultural School before joining the Palmach.
