His Right Hand

Yad Yemino is the gripping story of Yechiel Kadishai, Menachem Begin's right-hand man and confidant. Kadishai was by Begin's side for decades, from the long years in the desert of opposition to Begin's ascendance to the premiership; from meetings with world leaders and receiving the Nobel Peace Prize to the Lebanon War; from Begin's resignation and seclusion until his death. Menachem Michelson, born in Israel, was privileged to be among the paratroopers who took part in liberating Jerusalem. A graduate of Bar-Ilan University, Michelson has authored numerous books, as well as acting as senior editor and writer for Yedioth Ahronoth for over forty years. Michelson formerly served as the aliya representative in England.
