He is a former president of Tel Aviv University and was Rabin’s ambassador in Washington and chief negotiator with Syria.
"Mr. Rabinovich, the distinguished Israeli scholar and diplomat . .
. easily establishes that the prime minister was a man of great
complexity. . . . Even the warm esteem in which he holds Rabin does
not prevent Mr. Rabinovich—a scholar with an abiding commitment to
historical accuracy—from presenting a portrait of his friend in
full."—Elliott Abrams, Wall Street Journal
"Rabinovich’s language—lean, precise, devoid of
embellishment—reminds me of the way Rabin himself used to talk:
dugri, as we say in Hebrew, straightforward, to the point. . . . In
an era when language is being abused for political purposes and
agendas, Rabinovich’s book is a breath of fresh air."—Uri Dromi,

“Yitzhak Rabin was a soldier and a statesman who fought for the
security of Israel and for a concept of peace for all nations.
Itamar Rabinovich has written a thoughtful and extraordinarily
comprehensive account of a significant leader.”—Henry A.
Kissinger
"Itamar Rabinovich has written an insightful book on Yitzhak Rabin,
Israel’s charismatic warrior-statesman who valiantly dedicated
himself to the cause of peace in the Middle East. As the head of
Rabin’s team during Syrian-Israeli peace negotiations and as
Israel’s ambassador in Washington, Rabinovich was at Rabin’s side
during key moments in his country’s history. I recommend his
book to all those interested in peace between Arabs and
Israelis."—James A. Baker, III
"This highly informative and tightly-packed biography is
undergirded by a deep personal knowledge of Rabin’s strengths and
flaws as a leader and a sure command of Israel’s military and
diplomatic history."—Derek Penslar, Harvard University and the
University of Toronto
