This gripping and authoritative biography of her extraordinary life draws on exclusive access to official papers, personal letters, and interviews with contemporaries to reveal Meir's magnetic personality, her defining role in the founding of Israel in 1948, and pivotal leadership during crises such as the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
