Abba Eban
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Asaf Siniver, PhD, is Associate Professor in International Security in the Department of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Birmingham. In his research, he focuses on the international relations of the Arab-Israeli conflict, contemporary US foreign policy, and third-party conflict resolution on the international stage.
“Siniver’s principal achievement is his artful documentation of the tension between Eban the intellectual and Eban the politician. Such lofty thoughts do not distract Mr. Siniver from listing the indiscretions and dishonesty to which Eban, in his politician’s guise, occasionally succumbed”
- Ben Cohen, The Wall Street Journal
“Siniver’s levelheaded account looks at the history of Israel through the life of the country’s eloquent defender.”
- New York Times Sunday Book Review (Editor's Choice)
“Informative, often insightful”
- The Washington Times
“An elegant and thoughtful biography of the political contradictions that drove Abba Eban... An invaluable primer for those seeking to understand politics within Israel.”
- Janice Gross Stein, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto
“Abba Eban, once heralded as the “Voice of Israel” and widely praised as one of greatest diplomats of the twentieth century, has quickly become a forgotten figure. Asaf Siniver provides a fascinating portrayal of Eban’s life and reminds us of his unique contribution to Israeli diplomacy. Essential reading for anyone interested in Israeli foreign policy, especially during Israel’s formative years”
- Joel Peters, School of Public International Affairs, Virginia Tech
“In reading Siniver’s insightful biography, I contemplated what might have happened had the Israeli public and politicians listened to Abba Eban. Would Israel and her relationship with her neighbors been any different? One can only wonder.”
- Reform Judiasm
“The first examination of Eban in nearly forty years, Abba Eban is a fascinating look at a life that still offers a valuable perspective on Israel even today . . . Informed and informative, This outstanding biography draws from a wide range of primary sources to create a complex portrait of a man who left an indelible mark on the quest for peace in the Middle East. Abba Eban is very highly recommended for personal reading lists, as well as community and academic library 20th Century Biography and Israeli History Studies reference collections.”
- Midwest Book Review
“An engrossing, well-written book that deserves to be called a definitive biography, one that casts a great deal of light on Israeli diplomacy and the inner workings of the country’s domestic policies.”
- St. Louis Jewish Light
“A magisterial work of scholarship.”
- The Times of Israel
