He would propose two states for two peoples, with a shared capital in Jerusalem. He knew the risks of failure. But he also knew the risks of not trying: letting slip perhaps the last chance for a generation to secure genuine peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt was a moment of truth. It was one of many in a life intertwined, from the start, with that of Israel. Born on a kibbutz, Barak became commander of Israel's elite special forces, then army Chief of Staff, and ultimately, Prime Minister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMy Country, My Life tells the unvarnished story of his - and his country's - first seven decades; of its major successes, but also its setbacks and misjudgments. He offers candid assessments of his fellow Israeli politicians, of the American administrations with which he worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on his experiences as a military and political leader, he sounds a powerful warning: Israel is at a crossroads, threatened by events beyond its borders and by divisions within. The two-state solution is more urgent than ever, not just for the Palestinians, but for the existential interests of Israel itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT-BOOK","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54008640733552,"sku":"978-1509889280","price":9.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":54008640766320,"sku":"978-1509889280","price":25.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/8543\/8576\/files\/ebook_4361_6033c12e3a.jpg?v=1783580052","url":"https:\/\/antbook.store\/products\/my-country-my-life-fighting-for-israel-searching-for-peace","provider":"ANTBOOK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
