She was a unique woman, great leader, with a magnetic personality, a highly complex individual. She held some of the most important positions that her party and the State could bestow. She fulfilled most of them with talent and dignity. She failed in the top job - that of Prime Minister. This biography traces her origins, her American roots, her immediate family, her failed marriage, her rise in the party, the trade union movement, her massive and enduring achievements as Secretary of Labor and Housing, her ten year stint as foreign minister and finally the reasons that led to her failure as prime minister. She was a very good tactician, far less a strategist. She was a major builder of modern Israel whose influence on that country, on Israel-American relations and on Jewish history was evident primarily from 1969 to 1974. The author who served as spokesman for Golda Meir in 1973-1974 weaves a gripping story of one of the builders and leaders of the State of Israel. 606 $aPrime ministers$zIsrael$vBiography 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government 615 0$aPrime ministers 676 $a290 700 $aMedzini$b Meron$0530779 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996309054603316 996 $aGolda Meir$92125184 997 $aUNISA
