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

Signed limited first edition, number 566 of 2000 copies. Signed beneath the photographic frontispiece by Ben-Gurion. Thick quarto, original full dark blue morocco, watered silk endpapers, top edge gilt. Fine in a fine slipcase. From the library of noted art and book collector Charles J. Rosenbloom, with this copy presented to him, "For Distinguished Leadership in the cause of Israel's Economic Independence November 8, 1972."

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.
