The late Israeli President Shimon Peres was a colossal figure in Israeli and Middle Eastern politics. But what drove the hawkish statesman behind Israel's nuclear deterrence and early settlement policy to stake his political reputation on peace negotiations with the Arab world and the Palestine Liberation Organization, Israel's sworn enemy? Avi Gil, Peres's closest confidant and advisor, reveals all — from behind the scenes at the Oslo talks, to Peres's intense rivalries with figures such as Rabin, Sharon and Netanyahu

Karl Marx: Philosophy & Revolution
15 February, 7pm (UK time)
https://jewishbookweek.com/event/karl-marx-philosophy-and-revolution-2/

Karl Marx's Jewish background is either overlooked or misrepresented and his attitude towards Judaism and Jews was highly complex. Shlomo Avineri, in this revelatory work, over 50 years since his first book on Marx was published, argues that his Jewish origins were integral to his work, placing his Jewish background in its proper and balanced perspective, with often surprising results. In this exclusive online event, the award-winning political scientist & academic is in conversation with acclaimed philosopher John Gray
