Rarely am I overly excited about reading someone's 703-page memoirs. Nonetheless, Yehuda Avner's The Prime Ministers: An Intimate Narrative of Israeli Leadership proved to be the exception. Once started, I couldn't put it down and in fact I will even go so far in recommending this book as required reading for every journalist covering the Middle East, as well as the so-called “experts” and pundits that very often naively swallow Arab misrepresentations without questioning its veracity and without knowing a great deal about Mid-East history

Edward P. Djerejian, author of An American Ambassador’s Journey Through The Middle East served both Democratic and Republican presidents under eight administrations from John F. Kennedy to William Jefferson Clinton. In addition, Djerejian served as Ambassador to Syria and Israel and was the Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs under Bush and Clinton.
Upon his departure from Israel, Yitzhak Rabin gave a most
appropriate toast to him when he stated that he and his wife Leah
regretted his short tenure in Israel (one year) and he went on to
mention that never had there been an American diplomat who came to
Israel after being the ambassador to Syria.

As the old cliché goes, “action speaks louder than words” and someday you may want to examine Barack Obama’s presidential years and compare what he said during and before his presidential campaign and what he actually did and accomplish while in office.
Author: Walter M. Brasch
ISBN: 978-1-4196-6950-7
Gosh, when I received this book, I had a million other things I could be doing – anything rather than reading about a president who rewrote the constitution, lied to the people to get them to back a war, and approved torture for POWs. A president who changed cabinet members like people change underwear was not the thing that made a good day for me. However, I dug into Sinking of Ship of State and was thrilled! I could not put it down – it was the first piece of truth I had heard in years about George W. Bush.

Actually, I think this book isn’t for only kids. Every American citizen should have a copy of it. We have forgotten what this document says and what it means to each and every one of us. My hat is off to Cathy Travis for undertaking this work so that the young ones in the United States would have a guide to the most important document in our government, the basic law of our land.
