Inhaltsangabe

'This book deserves to be read by anyone who wants to understand the complex and dangerous situation that still exists in Israel.' Sunday Times 'A well argued, factual and high;y disturbing investigation into the political cesspool of Israeli extremism and its rationalisation of incitement and cold-blooded murder.' Guardian On 4 November 1995 Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a young student, Yigal Amir, an act which abruptly changed the course of Israeli politics. This is the first book to give a full account of the crime and the factors which led inexorably to its execution. Far more than a tale of an assassination, it is a powerful indictment of a society's failure to examine itself honestly and to bring its own worst enemies to justice. In a series of shocking revelations the book ranges beyond Israel to expose the extent of American support - financial and ideological - for the movement that produced Rabin's killer.
