Gidi: One Chasing a Thousand, Evron, Joseph - עותק מוקדש וחתום בידי המחבר לפרופ' אהוד רענני. - ”A fascinating book, Gidi describes in great detail some of the Irgun Zvai Leumi's largest and most successful attacks - the bombing of the King David Hotel, the Acre prison break, and others.” - Haaretz Daily Newspaper ”An interesting combination of personal biography, historical description of some of the IZL operations commanded by Gidi or inspired by him, and a flowing narrative.” Aharon Dagan, Ha-Uma (The Nation) ”This book is aimed at a general audience. It is not so much a biography of Gidi as a description of his role in the struggle to liberate Israel. [Features] quotations from a variety of sources - eyewitnesses, archives and [interviews].” - Alexander Zvielli, The Jerusalem Post ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Journalist and writer Joseph Evron is a fifth-generation Israeli; he began his career as a newspaper man as early as the days of the underground resistance movement the Irgun Zvai Leumi (IZL), which, with Menachem Begin as its commander, fought to chase the British out of pre-state Israel, leading the way to the formation of the Jewish state; Evron joined the IZL in 1946.
