Description
The full and untold story of Israeli politics penned by one of Israels most distinguished political journalists.
The phones had been installed in every corner of the apartment, and all started ringing at once. Golda Meir knew exactly what the sound meantbut she was afraid to pick up. Then she woke up with a jolt, covered in a cold sweat. It was 4 AM, and she could not get back to sleep.
In A Call at 4 AM, Israels top political journalist, Amit Segal, takes you inside the moments when history was decided in real time. From Golda Meirs sleepless nights before the Yom Kippur War to Benjamin Netanyahus power struggles during missile attacks, Segal uncovers the untold stories of war rooms, last-minute deals, and the relentless pressure of governing a country that never knows a quiet day.
Through gripping storytelling and unprecedented access, Segal reveals how Israels leaders navigate wars, terror waves, and global criseswhile constantly fighting for their own political survival. What happens behind closed doors when a prime minister must decide whether to strike Iran? How do backroom betrayals and coalition battles shape military decisions? And why, in Israel, is every political crisis also a national emergency?
Witty, fast-paced, and packed with revelations, A Call at 4 AM is the closest youll ever get to standing in the prime ministers shoes when the phone ringsand the fate of Israel is on the line.
