Winner of the 2015 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History and a New York Times Notable Book of 2015.

A riveting story about the murder that changed a nation: the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

The assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin remains the single most consequential event in Israel’s recent history, and one that fundamentally altered the trajectory for both Israel and the Palestinians. Killing a King relates the parallel stories of Rabin and his stalker, Yigal Amir, over the two years leading up to the assassination, as one of them planned political deals he hoped would lead to peace, and the other plotted murder.

Dan Ephron, who reported from the Middle East for much of the past two decades, covered both the rally where Rabin was killed and the subsequent murder trial. He describes how Rabin, a former general who led the army in the Six-Day War of 1967, embraced his nemesis, Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat, and set about trying to resolve the twentieth century’s most vexing conflict. He recounts in agonizing detail how extremists on both sides undermined the peace process with ghastly violence. And he reconstructs the relentless scheming of Amir, a twenty-five-year-old law student and Jewish extremist who believed that Rabin’s peace effort amounted to a betrayal of Israel and the Jewish people. As Amir stalked Rabin over many months, the agency charged with safeguarding the Israeli leader missed key clues, overlooked intelligence reports, and then failed to protect him at the critical moment, exactly twenty years ago. It was the biggest security blunder in the agency’s history.

Through the prism of the assassination, much about Israel today comes into focus, from the paralysis in peacemaking to the fraught relationship between current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama. Based on Israeli police reports, interviews, confessions, and the cooperation of both Rabin’s and Amir’s families, Killing a King is a tightly coiled narrative that reaches an inevitable, shattering conclusion. One can’t help but wonder what Israel would look like today had Rabin lived.

Críticas

"An illuminating version of the story…admirably concise and meticulously reported."
― A. O. Scott, New York Times

"Exceptional…an electrifying political narrative twinned with an old-fashioned crime story―of the sort that ought to be taught in journalism schools for its restraint, pacing and expert creation of suspense…. The book is a Greek tragedy told in split screen, a frame-for-frame chronicle of a deplorable death foretold…. This tragedy ends, as so many do, with pride, suffering and fear on terrible display. It’s the flickering reel of fateful choices and desperate last moments that I’ll remember most."
― Jennifer Senior, New York Times

"Incisive…. In a crisp and lively narrative, Ephron walks the reader through the assassination itself and its aftermath…[and] infuses his book with relevance by circling back to bigger questions."
― Ilene Prusher, New York Times Book Review

"A clear-eyed account…captures the way politics in this young and tiny country are uniquely and deeply personal."
― The Economist

"Striking…if the story of Yitzhak Rabin and Yigal Amir has anything to teach, it’s that individuals matter…. The opportunity that Rabin was trying to seize―however small―was there for a moment, and it may never come again."
― Dexter Filkins, The New Yorker

"Carefully reported, clearly presented, concise and gripping…a reminder that what happened on a Tel Aviv sidewalk 20 years ago is as important to understanding Israel as any of its wars."
― Matti Friedman, The Washington Post

"Vividly written and sharply insightful, Killing a King is an important and valuable addition to our understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
― Adam Lebor, Literary Review

"Riveting."
― Ian Black, The Guardian

"An authoritative narrative that will serve as a valuable record of history. It is also a page-turner…practically every page carries the tense energy of fresh insight."
― David K. Shipler, Moment

"Stunning…a chilling reminder that sometimes an assassin’s bullet really can alter the course of history. By unearthing previously confidential police and court records, Ephron gives us the definitive account of a fatal turning point for Israel. Killing a King is thorough, even-handed, and absolutely authoritative."
― Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, and author of The Good Spy: The Life and Death of Robert Ames

"The killing of Yitzhak Rabin by a Jewish fanatic helped derail the promising but fragile Middle East peace process and plunged Israelis and Palestinians into a nightmarish era of political violence and recrimination that haunts them still. In Killing a King Ephron digs up important details that give new understanding to those terrible events and their enduring impact. His authoritative account is both a sharply etched political thriller and a meditation on all that has gone wrong in the Promised Land."
― Glenn Frankel, former Jerusalem bureau chief for the Washington Post and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting

"With remarkable reporting, Dan Ephron has written an epic story, honestly and skillfully. Killing a King is not just about Israel’s past. It’s also an important read for anyone who wishes to truly understand the country’s disturbing present and unsettling future."
― Etgar Keret, author of The Seven Good Years: A Memoir

Ephron grew up in San Francisco. He lives in New York City with his wife, Nancy Updike, a longtime producer for the public radio show, This American Life.

    'Killing a King' is simultaneously a fascinating and disspiriting account of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin by journalist Dan Ephron. Ephron covered that event as a reporter. Going back years later as a bureau chief, he was struck to the degrees by which Israel has changed. The book is fascinating due to the insight and detail Ephron delivers. Its dual timelines - that of Rabin's juxtaposed with Yigal Amir's - is riveting, even when you know the outcome. It's disspiriting because Amir aimed to change history by "killing its king" and evidence suggests he succeeded.

    Ephron also artfully explores some other veins. First, the degree to which Amir's circle of friends was complicit. He told pretty much everyone he was contemplating taking Rabin's life. Only a few seemed to take him literally. His brother Hagai was an avid co-conspirator. One acquaintance of an acquaintance filed a report with the internal security services, but the details were semi-fictional and purposely oblique.

    That leads into another avenue that Ephron reports on: the failing of Israel's internal security apparatus. They were, at the time, tooled specifically to focus on the threats posed by Arab extremism & paid only close heed to rising threat of Jewish extremism which -- in Ephron's recounting -- seems there for the world to see. Coupled with the shocking lapse in security the night of Rabin's murder (his killer Amir is left to loiter untouched and unquestioned at Rabin's car), it paints a devastating portrait of institutional ineptitude.

    Amazing insight into Israeli politics and the larger Middle East dynamics. I appreciate Dan Ephron's efforts to explain the assassin's side of the story so that we might better understand his motivations for carrying out such a heinous act. I've always wondered about the missed opportunities for a lasting peace in the region because of Rabin's murder but could not imagine how precarious the situation was until I finished reading this book. Policy makers should read this book. Israel supporters should read this book. Palestine supporters should read this book. Anyone that wants to understand the complexity of why peace is so elusive in the region should read this book. You will not be disappointed.

    This story, beautifully told, has a real relevance for Israel today...and for us in the United States. It recounts a society that so stigmatized the other side that it created the conditions that condoned and encouraged murder. The use of the word "Hellenizers" to describe those seeking accommodation with he Palestinians reminds us of the Jewish coal war that resulted in the invitation to the Romans to come in and eventually extinguish the Jewish state for 2000 years.
    The invective and hate aimed at President Obama is equally odious and divisive. As The lyric in the song "Wasn't that a time" reminds us: Oh when will they ever learn".

    Fascinating narrative about this period in history I admittedly knew little about. A little slow to get into it (and names of key players confusing sometimes) but once I got about 100 pages in it really was a fast read. I wonder if we can return to a time in Israeli-Palestinian relations where peace seemed just out of reach and actually achieve it this time?

    Good read for everyone interested in politics of Israel and its neighbors.

    A Great Political History and Thriller in One Book

    With the current stability/instability paradigm that makes up the Israeli-Palestinian relationship, it's easy to think that it will never be resolved. Yet between 1993 and 1995, there was a brief, shining moment when it seemed that not only would Israel make peace with Palestine, but that it would make peace with all of its Arab neighbors and that it was ultimately inevitable. But three bullets from an assassin's handgun in November 1995 changed all of that. What happened? In this intriguing book, Mr. Ephron weaves two tales: one of the peace process, led by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, that was gaining ground and looked to be on the road to success and a taut thriller about a religious zealot who stalked Rabin for nearly two years intent upon killing him. From start to finish, this book is nerve-wracking and tragic in its consequences. I will say that the assassination came a little earlier than expected, but this book is just as much about the death of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process as well as the death of Rabin. And the epilogue includes one last mystery that will keep you turning the pages to the end. For anyone interested in modern Israel, I highly recommend this book.
