"Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared."

First edition. Thick octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Inscribed by the author to Walworth Barbour, the United States ambassador to Israel, " To Walwort (sic) Barbour in deep friendship D. Ben-Gurion 30.12.1972". The recipient was the United States ambassador to Isreal from 1961-1973. A wonderful association copy linking two notable statesmen.

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.
