Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This short biography is another success in the Great Lives series. The author surveys Golda Meir's life from childhood through premiership to statehood elder. There is plenty of fascinating information on her part in the formation of the state of Israel, her role as diplomat, and her leadership as prime minister during the Yom Kippur War of 1973. While brief, this biography serves as an introduction for young people and adults to the influence and impact of Gold Meir in Israel, the Middle East and the world.
