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.

Content appears as new, unopened, unread & unblemished in fine black cloth covered boards with DJ displaying minimal surface/edge wear as shown.Kirkus Review: Written in the Fifties, the Israeli prime minister's prison memoir limns the now (post-Solzhenitsyn) familiar horrors of the "white nights" of the Siberian labor camps: the initial prisoners forced to literally build their prison around themselves; the finagling, the hierarchies, the murderous card games among the prisoners; two lavatories for 800 men; the terrible flies eating you up alive, But what's especially striking here is how Begin dealt with his arrest and interrogation; as leader of Betar, the revisionist Zionist organization in Poland, he was considered subversive by the Russians after they signed the Hitler-Stalin pact. 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 to ...
