"Without moral and intellectual independence, there is no anchor for national independence": First Edition of Israel: A personal History, Signed by David Ben Gurion

First edition of Ben-Gurion's Israel: A Personal History. Quarto, original cloth, original slipcase, illustrated. Signed by David Ben-Gurion on the front free endpaper. "Mr. and Mrs. Milton C. Borenstein of the 1972 United Jewish Appeal Study Conference." The recipient, Milton C. Borenstein was the first Jewish trustee of Boston College, was a trustee of the Combined Jewish Philanthropies, served on the board of directors at the American Jewish Congress and American Friends of Hebrew University, served as associate chairman of the scholarship committee of Harvard Law School and was the founder of the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. Fine in a near fine slipcase.

David Ben-Gurion's life has been so completely identified with Jewish history that "Israel: A Personal History" amounts to an autobiography. With this book, Ben-Gurion joins the small company of great historical figures who have left for posterity a personal record of the events in which they were prime movers.
