Revolt by Begin Menachem, First Edition (12 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First English Edition (Henry Schuman=NAP). I have priced this book at half the price of the next least expensive 1951 First English edition, not entirely because I am such a generous person. Because of quite a little oddity, the Editor's Preface (two pages/four sides) was excised from the book. I've never seen that before. Those are the only pages missing and the binding is excellent. So you have the blank front end paper, then the title page (which is in excellent condition), the verso of which has the copyright page, then there's the Contents Page (the verso of which has the Author's Acknowledgment), and then the Introduction. The Introduction begins on page xi. The Contents page lists the Editor's Preface as beginning on page vii. You can see the covers in the photos. They are in solid condition, no conspicuous soiling. There is a little dent on the front cover a little bit up from the bottom edge, and there is a scratch on the rear cover up a little from its bottom edge (see photo). There's also a crease under the top edge of the spine, and there is a tiny loss at the same top edge. The cover edges are in excellent shape. The cover corners have small spots of rub-through. The page edges are very clean. The white lettering on the spine looks good. The book is square and the spine is straight. As mentioned, the binding is very solid. The pages are nicely tight from cover to cover and the covers are nicely tight as well. The white inside covers and end papers are very clean. The same can be said for all the pages in the book. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. I'm also not finding any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases, no turned-down corners. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere.

Full leather. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: near fine. The deluxe signed edition of The Revolt by Menachem Begin. (illustrator). Deluxe Signed Edition. Octavo, xxvii, [3], 386pp. Cream morocco, title in gilt on spine. Stated "Second printing, February 1978" on copyright page. Solid text block, fine condition.

Signed by Menachem Begin on a tipped-in leaf. Menachem Begin (19131992) was an Israeli politician who served as the sixth Prime Minister of Israel from 1977 to 1983. Born in Brest, then part of the Russian Empire (now Belarus), he was a leader in the Zionist paramilitary group Irgun before Israel's establishment. He co-founded the Herut party, which later became Likud. As Prime Minister, he signed the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty with Anwar Sadat, for which both received the Nobel Peace Prize. His tenure included the 1981 bombing of Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor and the 1982 Lebanon War. He resigned in 1983 and lived in seclusion until his death.

Revised edition of Begin's classic first book. Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece, illustrated. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "To Caroline Riedler- in friendship M. Begin." Translated from the Hebrew by Shmuel Katz. Edited by Ivan M. Greenberg. Fine in a near fine dust jacket, name of the recipient to the front free endpaper. Revolt traces the development of the Irgun from its early days in the 1930s, through its years of violent struggle in the Palestine Mandate against both British rule (the "revolt" of the title) and Arab opposition, to the outbreak of the Israeli War of Independence in 1948. It is also part autobiographical, tracing Begin's own political development. The political scientist John Bowyer Bell who studied both the Irgun and the Irish Republican Army recalled that many of the IRA men whom he interviewed in the 1960s had read The Revolt and admired it as a manual of guerrilla warfare. It was also studied by African National Congress Nelson Mandela after he went underground in 1960, and credited it as being among the books he used a guide in planning the ANC's guerrilla campaign against the apartheid government of South Africa.
