I'm on an autobiography reading binge. This book is a combination of autobiography and history ... lots of history describing Zionism and the ups and downs leading to the creation of Israel. Weizman is an excellent writer who makes the history in which he was immersed come alive. I highly recommend this book, even for those who do not subscribe to the Zionist philosophy. ( )

De autobiografie van de eerste president van Israël met daarin verweven de geschiedenis van het zionisme. ( )
