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."

Covering such a long span of Israel's recent history, it is essential reading for all students of Zionism.

Bibi Netanyahu is a man who excites strong feelings. This book shows why those feelings should be positive. Although written a year before the October 7th 2023 massacres and barbarism, Bibi is prescient in identifying the terrible danger of militant Islam. As Douglas Murray writes in his own more recent book, the death cult of Islamists only want and understand one thing. Bibi shows why the Islamic death cult must be fought from strength and not appeasement. The book provides a fascinating insight into the person who now leads the world’s fight against Muslim terrorism. A great listen with lots of fascinating details from someone who has lived through an important part of history and whose ancestors played important roles in creating Israel and making Americans understand the danger of terrorism.

Bibi and his father fought tirelessly to create a name for the Jewish state and for themselves. They traveled across the world—from the United States to Europe—meeting with powerful leaders, enduring countless challenges, and working relentlessly to establish both themselves and the Jewish state on the global stage. Their story is an inspiration to me, and it should be an inspiration to anyone who has a goal: the goal to create something out of nothing, the goal to succeed and stand among giants, the goal to make a name for yourself and your people. This is a story of greatness, a story of hard work, and a story of sacrifice.

They gave so much, even losing a son and a brother along the way, but they reaped what they sowed. Their dedication is a principle that each of us should adopt in our own lives and for our own countries. Their journey teaches us what it means to work hard, to be a patriot, a warrior, and a leader.

This is the first book I’ve read that has truly impacted me. I’ve learned so much from it, and it has benefited me in my daily life and in shaping my future. It helped me understand the true meaning of hard work, patriotism, and leadership. Overall, it’s a great and inspiring book—one that I highly recommend to anyone seeking motivation to achieve their goals and make a difference in the world.
