Israel is too small for Shimon Peres. As a young man, he assiduously

read the works of Leon Trotsky, as he says in his memoirs. Trotksy's distorted Marxist view of reality has stayed with Peres his entire career. Trotsky was only interested in "world revolution", making everybody the same, and Trotsky would define what the "same" would be and use force to impose it. Thus Peres reveres the song of John Lennon "Imagine" in which talks about a world without nations or religions, and I presume Peres and Lennon would then force all of us to believe in what they believe in also, even if we don't want to. Peres retains the Marxist philosophy that man's primary motivation is economics which leads him to make his silly statement in his book "The New Middle East"-"in the modern world all people care about is money and internet"-although we see that the Muslim extremists and their supporters don't seem to think the way Peres does. In any event, there is no place for the Jews or Zionism in his scheme of things. When Peres and Rabin made their Nobel Prize speeches, they made them in English, although the custom for everyone else who shows pride in their country and culture is to make it in their native language, as did their "friend and partner" Arafat. Obviously Judaism, the Hebrew language and Zionism are embarrassments to him. Fortunately, the people of Israel have had their say by reducing the number of seats the party he has had a stranglehold over for almost the last 30 years from 44 down to 19. Thus, the reader interested in seeing the way Israel is going in the future had better look elsewhere than this cliche-filled, "politically correct" book.

great book,intended for the future of our great great children

The fascinating thing about Shimon Peres is his sheer stamina. At 78 he still wants to be Prime Miniater!

He is criticised for being a dreamer but he is a diplomat politician statesman as well.

We need optimists and realists right now and he is both otherwise Sharon would not have him in his government.

Robert Littell is the perfect foil to Mr Peres and I would describe this book as a work of art. It is also jounalism at its highest and I cannot commend it too much
