Golda Meir unexpectedly became Israel's Prime Minister-and the Western world's first female head of government-at the age of seventy. This gripping and authoritative biography of her extraordinary life draws on exclusive access to official papers, personal letters, and interviews with contemporaries to reveal Meir's magnetic personality, her defining role in the founding of Israel in 1948, and pivotal leadership during crises such as the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
Drawing an often intimate portrait, Burkett traces Meir's personal life from birth in Ukraine to her formative years in the U.S, as well as the steep price she paid for her unwavering conviction amid Israel's turbulent struggles. Discover the legacy that shaped a nation and Middle Eastern politics.
