To the surprise of no one who's followed the man's career and heard him speak, Begin comes off as one tough cookie. He's subtle to the smallest nuance, oratorical, brave, stubborn, a zealot. A lecture is always on his lips: ""'Citizen Judge,' I began, dispensing with the interpreter, 'you mentioned the autonomous Jewish Republic in the Soviet Union. Permit me to dwell upon this point. . . ."" Was he, the NKVD demanded, head of Betar? Yes. Will he then confess to that? No. Admit, yes--not confess. The Chekist interrogator's hair must have turned gray. Freed after Hitler attacked Russia (and suddenly the Poles were all right again), Begin makes his way ...

New York: Harper & Row, Date: 1977. First U.S. Edition. 8vo. 5-3/4" x 8-1/2." Black cloth covered boards. Spine stamped in silver. Orange endpapers. Fine in very good dust jacket.. Translated from the Hebrew by Katie Kaplan. The Times of London has called White Nights "nothing less than one of the greatest pieces of prison literature in the world." It is the account of Prime Minister Begin's incarceration in a series of Soviet prisons, and his eventual release and arrival in Israel to become the leader of his country. The title refers, ironically, both to the endless daylight of the Siberian tundra and the constant floodlights of the prison interrogators as they attempted to force confessions from their captives. But while the horrors of prison life under the Soviet regime are made heartbreakingly clear, Begin's dry sense of humor only throws his experience into sharper relief. His crime "was belief in Zionism, and the time of testing he describes in this book vividly brings to life the formation of his own inner character and the sense of mission which he so evidently brings to his present awesome responsibilities. 1977.
