Benjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel, having been reelected in 2022 after previously serving from 1996–1999 and 2009–2021. From 1967–1972 he served as a soldier and commander in Sayeret Matkal, an elite special forces unit of the Israeli Defense Forces. A graduate of MIT, he served as Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations from 1984–1988, before being elected to the Israeli parliament as a member of the Likud party in 1988. He has published five previous books on terrorism and Israel’s quest for peace and security. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife, Sara.
"For his admirers and critics alike, he has produced a compelling
memoir and an intriguing study of power."
— The Economist
"Bibi is as polished, argumentative and fascinating as its
author, a restless work in progress whose story is that of modern
Israel."
— The Wall Street Journal
“Benjamin Netanyahu's autobiography is one of history’s great
Zionist texts. Most politicians’ autobiographies are turgid affairs
. . . Then there is Benjamin Netanyahu’s autobiography, which is
not a politician’s autobiography at all, but an adventure story
dressed up as one. It is a Tom Clancy novel written for a Tom
Cruise movie adaptation, posing as a normal politician’s
memoir.”
— Claremont Review of Books
"After a stunning victory, Netanyahu is returning as Israel’s next
prime minister . . . Now, therefore, is the perfect moment to
take a closer look at who Netanyahu really is . . . not your
run-of-the-million campaign autobiography, most of which are
tedious and boring and not worth the paper they are printed on . .
. This is an incredibly well-written, captivating – at times,
spell-binding – account of his triumphs and trials. And it is a
must read for every Evangelical who loves Israel and prays for the
peace of Jerusalem.”
— All Israel News
"In the latest election, Netanyahu accomplished what few of his
peers ever could: He won what passes in Israel as a resounding
victory, granting him the opportunity to become prime minister for
a third time. And rather than reading like a typical self-serving
retrospective, a classic bid for immortality, his memoir now
becomes a reintroduction to a man who has rarely been out of the
public eye for a quarter-century . . . [and] serves as an
essential window into his character."
— The Washington Post
“From a purely literary point of view, this is without doubt the
best autobiography written by an Israeli prime minister . . .
[Netanyahu] demonstrates Churchillian abilities in the
literary field."
— Literary Review
"Benjamin Netanyahu’s new book Bibi: My
Story [is] worthy of being added to the shelf in a place
of honor . . . the world will understand him and his country better
as a result of this book."
— The Algemeiner
“Bibi: My Story is a surprisingly sentimental and ideologically
thoughtful autobiography from a politician known for his cold, hard
realism. Unlike other political autobiographies, which mostly serve
to obscure their subjects, this one provides us with the tools to
understand this signature figure in modern Jewish history . . . a
far better book than we had any reason to think it would be.”
— Commentary Magazine
"Netanyahu wrote his memoir longhand. It is not the standard
campaign autobiography. It has heft, and not just because it runs
to 650 pages. Primed for debate, he conveys his point of view with
plenty of notes. He paints in primary colors, not pastels. The
canvas is filled with adulation, anger, frustration and dish. Bibi
is substantive and barbed. It is interesting. Netanyahu has scores
to settle and punches to land."
