What is Yitzhak Rabin : the battle for peace about?

Yitzhak Rabin (1922-1995) became a soldier by chance and necessity rather than by choice. He spent nearly his entire life fighting Israel's wars against Arabs and Palestinians. His natural talent for strategic thinking, deep analysis and detachment from the political game, placed him first at the top of the Israeli military and later political echelons. He was an admired Chief of Staff, an orthodox ambassador, a dedicated Defence Minister and twice led his country as Prime Minister. After the first Palestinian uprising in the late 1980's sent shock waves through the country, he started to realise that Israel could not win this war by force. Upon his re-election as Prime Minister in 1992 he instigated a diplomatic process to end the conflict. Tragically his lack of political vision, his deep rooted ambivalence towards the Palestinians, together with his cautious instinct prevented him from fully implementing the peace process for which he was ultimately murdered in 1995 and for which he is still remembered today.
