Golda Meir, warts and all, June 30, 2008
This review is from: Golda: Golda Meir, The Romantic Years
Martin has done tremendous research and has brought to life a truly unique figure. It is still hard to believe that a shtetl-born, Milwaukee-raised young woman was so instrumental in building the Jewish state and later became its prime minister. We will probably never know the real Golda, as her inner feelings were a closed book even to her intimate friends. But Martin has done as well as a biographer can.
Golda's love affairs (while she was still married to her first and only husband) are carefully detailed here, as is her rather laissez-faire attitude toward mothering her two children. Martin clearly admires Golda, but like the excellent journalist that he is, he tells her story straightforwardly and without bias.
