This was a good biography, pretty objective and well-written.
It successfully conveyed all the aspects of his personality and how they drove his actions, as well as the deep transformations he underwent, especially in his last years.

For a political review, this will be informal.

I had never heard of Ariel (Arik) Sharon until I picked up this book. As a biography of the military general and later Prime Minister who impacted on Israel so profoundly, I couldn't put it down.

Arik's politics shaped the Israel of today. Is it for the good or the worse? Only history will tell.
