Don't be intimidated by the size of this book! It does take time to read, but well worth the effort to learn about this amazing man, and get the better-informed view of some of the things we learned about him in the past.

I was hoping for more descriptions of areas, and less politics, but overall I enjoyed it. If you feel (as I do) that Israel has an absolute right to exist within its traditional borders, some editorializing sections can be frustrating.
