		Peres, defense minister in the 1970s and later Israel's prime minister, uses diary excerpts to recreate his orchestration of Israel's rescue of passengers on a French plane hijacked by PLO terrorists and flown to Entebbe, Uganda, in 1976.
		Peres adeptly deploys humanizing details--why, as a kibbutz herder, he preferred sheep over cows or how Dimona in the Negev Desert was prepared for the nuclear reactor Peres had convinced France to sell Israel--to tie details of arms procurement and political infighting to more mundane realities.
		Peres has lost, to the best of my knowledge, every single secret-ballot election (either to the Knesset or the leadership of the Labor Party) he ever ran in where he was opposed by a serious candidate.

		And Shimon Peres leaned past his prime minister to shake the hand of Yasser Arafat, justifiably claiming full credit for the agreement he had brought into the world.
		But while Sharon thinks he is using Peres to shore up his premiership, it is Peres who is using the Sharon shield to cover the pursuit of his plan.
