Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads: Dear Tamar, Peace! Miko Peled, 6/24/12. Author's e-mail address written in ink on first page. Includes Foreword by Alice Walker, Introduction, and Acknowledgments. Chapters include The Early Years; A Long Way from Home; The Road to Palestine; and Hope for Peace. Miko Peled (born 1961) is an Israeli-American activist and author. He is author of the books The General’s Son: The Journey of an Israeli in Palestine and Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five. He is also an international speaker. Peled has described his book, The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine (2012), as an account of how he, "the son of an Israeli General and a staunch Zionist, came to realize that "the story upon which I was raised ... was a lie." The book, he has said, is based largely on long conversations with his mother, on a thorough reading of "everything my dad had ever written," and on material about his father's career in the Israeli army archives. The book, which has been characterized as "part confessional, part cinematic epic and part emotional appeal for 'different answers' to the Israeli-Palestinian conundrum," contains a foreword by Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple. In this candid account, Miko Peled tells how he followed in the footsteps of the genera (his father)l, from parachutist to fighter for peace. This fascinating story provides much food for thought. Alice Walker (born 1944) is a novelist, short story writer, poet, and social activist. More

New York, N.Y. Wyndham Books, 1979. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. 254, [2] pages. Signed and dated by Peres on the second free end paper. Includes Preface. Includes chapters on David Ben-Gurion; Levi Eshkol; Berl Katznelson; Nathan Alterman; Ernst David Bergmann; Moshe Haviv; Yonatan Netanyahu. Of all the personalities Shimon Peres has met during his many years in Israeli politics, there are a few men who have added excitement to his own life and to the country they have helped to create. Mr. Peres has chosen to recall seven of these men: David Ben-Gurion, whom he considers the greatest Jew of his generation; Levi Eshkol, who succeeded Ben-Gurion as premier; Berl Katznelson, the spiritual guide of the early Zionist movement; the poet Nathan Alterman; Ernst David Bergmann, an important scientist and former chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission in the Prime Minister's office; Moshe Haviv, who helped found the Rafi Party; and Yonatan Netanyahu, the heroic commando soldier who was killed leading the Entebbe raid. This book is a moving tribute both to them, and to the remarkable nation that has produced such outstanding individuals. Shimon Peres (born Szymon Perski; 2 August 1923 – 28 September 2016) was an Israeli politician who served as the ninth President of Israel (2007–2014), the Prime Minister of Israel (twice), and the Interim Prime Minister, in the 1970s to the 1990s.

Peres was elected to the Knesset in November 1959 and except for a three-month-long hiatus in early 2006, was in office continuously until 2007. More
