Historian-journalist Burkett looks beyond Meir's well-known accomplishments to the complex motivations and ideals, personal victories and disappointments, of her charismatic public persona. Beginning with Meir's childhood in virulently anti-Semitic Russia and her family's subsequent relocation to the United States, Burkett places Meir within the framework of the American immigrant experience, the Holocaust, and the singlemindedness of a generation that carved a nation out of its own nightmares and dreams.--From publisher description. 600 10 $a Meir, Golda, $d 1898-1978. 600 17 $a Meir, Golda, $d 1898-1978. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00004163 650 0 $a Prime ministers $z Israel $v Biography. 651 0 $a Israel $v Biography. 650 1 $a Biography. 650 7 $a Prime ministers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01076416 651 7 $a Israel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204236 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0910/2007048283-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0910/2007048283-d.html 941 $a 1 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508015503.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B96328290F111EA86A69E4897128E48 994 $a 92 $b UINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
