Biography; Biography: historical, political & military; Middle Eastern history

Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the longest serving Prime Ministers of Israel. For much of the world, Netanyahu is a right-wing nationalist zealot; for many Israelis he is a centrist who is too soft on Arabs and backs down too easily in a fight. Love him or loathe him, Netanyahu has been at the very centre of Arab-Israeli politics since 1990, when he became the telegenic Israeli spokesman for CNN's coverage of the Persian Gulf War, arguably ushering in the Americanization of the Israeli media. Netanyahu is famous for his TV skills, but there is so much more to reveal - good and bad - about the man and his place in Israeli, Middle Eastern and world political history.

At present there is no major profile of Netanyahu in the English language, so the publication of this book is a landmark of considerable importance, especially as in March 2015 he was re-elected for a further term in office. Using the juncture of the Oslo Accords to take the reader back to Netanyahu's formative years, Neill Lochery, a renowned scholar of Middle Eastern politics and history, chronicles not only the Prime Minister's life but also the issues his career has encompassed, from the rise of militant Islam to the politics of oil; from the transformation of Israeli politics by the 24/7 cable news cycle to the US's changing role in the Middle East.

Reviews for The Resistible Rise of Benjamin Netanyahu

If Netanyahu is still in office in July 2019, he will become the longest serving prime minister in the country's history ... Lochery's book is the first English biography of a man he says will be remembered as an Israeli leader of historic importance . It's a fascinating glimpse into his past, the people and things that motivated him, and ultimately what he might do next. * Jerusalem Post * Lochery's book fleshes out the man behind the mask ... [he] has written a comprehensive overview for the interested reader who wishes to make sense of the Middle East imbroglio today. He has brought Netanyahu in from the cold. * Colin Shindler, Fathom *
