Publisher's summary

In EVEN HIS ENEMIES CRIED: The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin of Israel, Janvier T. Chando provides the reader with a succinct and insightful account of Yitzhak Rabin that helps us understand his world, the turbulent region he was born in, the complexity of geopolitics and what leadership entails ― confidence, courage, compassion, inspiration, knowledge, understanding, integrity, fairness, motivation. The mind-blowing account takes us through Yitzhak Rabin’s journey as a shy boy pushed by the exigencies of his time to become a soldier and play an outstanding role on the battlefields in the “Holy Land “in shaping the state of Israel during its war of Independence, otherwise called the First Arab-Israeli War. The author’s recount of Rabin’s post-independence life as a soldier shows us the pivotal roles he played in the second and third Arab-Israeli Wars that made him one of Israel’s legendary generals. However, it is Rabin’s post-army years serving Israel that show his mettle as an exemplary leader confident enough to chat a path that would move Israel and the rest of the Middle East out of the impasse of conflict into a future that would be good for humanity by making tough decisions that made him a lonely man in his overcrowded world. He did so by heeding the concerns and needs of others, and by taking their hopes, dreams, and fears into account; he did so by being unwavering and true to his intentions. In EVEN HIS ENEMIES CRIED: The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin of Israel, Janvier T. Chando provides unique angles to the haunted Middle East that gives us hope that all is not lost in the turbulent region and that upholders of peace and true leadership will always emerge from unexpected quarters.
