About this listen

 In Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu’s “compelling” (The Economist) and “fascinating” (The Wall Street Journal) New York Times bestselling autobiography, the prime minister of Israel tells the story of his family, his path to leadership, and his unceasing commitment to defending his country and securing its future.

From their earliest days, Bibi and his close-knit brothers, Yoni and Iddo, were instilled with purpose. Born in the wake of the Holocaust at the dawn of Israel’s independence and raised in a family with a prominent Zionist history, they understood that the Jewish state was a hard-won and still precarious gift. All three studied in American high schools—where they learned to appreciate the United States—before returning to their cherished homeland.

The brothers joined an elite special forces outfit of the Israeli Defense Forces known as “the Unit.” At twenty-two, Bibi was wounded while leading his team in the rescue of hostages from a hijacked plane. Four years later, in 1976, Yoni was killed in Entebbe, Uganda, while leading his men in one of the most daring hostage-rescue missions in modern times. Yoni became a legend; Bibi felt he would never recover from his grief. Yet, inspired by Yoni’s legacy and guided by the wisdom of his visionary historian father, Bibi thrust himself into the international struggle against terrorism, ultimately becoming the longest-serving prime minister in Israel’s history—an honor he further cemented by winning reelection in 2022.

In this memoir Bibi weaves together his gripping personal story with the dramatic history of Israel and the Jewish people. Through a host of vivid anecdotes, he narrates his own evolution from soldier to statesman, while providing a unique perspective on leadership, the fraught geopolitics of the Middle East, and his successful efforts to liberate Israel’s economy, which helped turn it into a global powerhouse of technological innovation.

Netanyahu gives colorful, detailed, and revealing accounts of his often turbulent relationships and negotiations with Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Trump. With eye-opening candor, he delves into the back channels of high diplomacy—including his struggle against the radical forces that threaten Israel and the world at large, and the decisive events that led to Israel’s groundbreaking 2020 peace agreements with four Arab states.

Offering an unflinching account of a life, a family, and a nation, Netanyahu writes from the heart and embraces controversy head-on. Steely and funny, high-tempo and full of verve, this autobiography will stand as a defining testament to the value of political conviction and personal courage.

Critic Reviews

"[Marantz's] delivery avoids any sense of ego while highlighting the emotional life of a politician who continues to seek power no matter what challenges lie ahead."

This was one of the most interesting books I have heard in the last five years. While looking into Bibi's personal life from an early age, including the death of his beloved brother Yanni, to getting the back story of history in the making and private interaction with world leaders. Giving an understanding of why things happened like they did and finding out who else was involved that the papers omitted to report on. If you are even slightly interested in world affairs or Israel and why all the troubles there . This is a must listen, what ever your personal political stance is
BIBI is too good to miss. I am now going for a 2nd serve...I'm trusting you will enjoy it as much as I have

Israel should be so grateful for the sacrifices that Bibi and his wonderful family have made to enable such a beautiful State of Israel to exist as it is today. Not possible without Almighty God leading him all the way. Some news reporters and police prosecutors should also hang their heads in shame! Shalom Bibi from an Aussie that loves Israel.

Wow what a life of purpose

Obama didn’t like Bibi. That is a plus for Bibi.
Bibi has had an amazing life of achievement over 60 years. He really is brave. He risked his life many times. He argued, persuaded, struggle to achieve his goals. He made peace with his enemies. He really can bargain a deal. No wonder Obama hated him.
Don’t trust the fake news.
