Levy gives an insiders view of the Israeli government that proves to be as dysfunctional as we perceive our on to be. Its fascinating that someone of Levy’s background could end up inside the Prime Ministers office and have such access when he wasn‘t even a citizen. For him to be there during Sharon’s illness and Olmert’s transition to power adds to the drama and surreal nature of the story. I can’t imagine that the folks in Tel Aviv we very happy with the picture he paints, but in a way it makes the situation in the middle east more believable. It proves that governments are made up of people with the same flaws and idiosyncrasies as we mere mortals. Anyone interested in world politics would enjoy this book.

"Wow….it was that good. I’m glad read the book first. I don’t see how the movie could do this justice. What an incredibly well written story. This will go down as one of my all time favorites.
