Book: Killing a King: Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the Remaking of Israel

The riveting story of how Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin, a former general who led the army in the Six-Day War, embraced his nemesis, PLO leader Yasser Arafat, in pursuit of a resolution to one of the 20th century's most intractible conflicts. At the same time, extremists on both sides worked to undermine the peace process, leading to Rabin's 1995 assassination by an Israeli, an event that fundamentally altered the course of the conflict.
