		Shamir became the commander of the underground militia known as the Stern Gang, or Lehi.
		Shamir does not allow himself to open up and share with his readers the emotional intensity, the personal passions, or the intellectual and literary wealth of the fascinating political culture -- the Revisionist Zionist movement -- of which he is the last remaining founding father.
		Shamir's attachment is merely emotional, for he and most of his Jewish colleagues in Palestine exposed Jabotinsky's inherent contradiction: he wanted to achieve a Jewish state in the whole land of Israel (including Transjordan) by a show of strength and military power -- while under the patronage of Great Britain.

	The Foreign Policy of Herut and the Likud by Ilan Peleg
		On October 20, 1986, Yitzhak Shamir of the Likud resumed the leadership of the Israeli government according to an unprecedented political arrangement known as "the rotation." What exactly Shamir will do in the area of foreign policy is, obviously, still too early to predict.
		The strategic thought of Menachem Begin and his associates, including Yitzhak Shamir, during their seven-year reign (1977-84) ought to be understood as deeply grounded in the history and the ideology of the right wing of the Zionist movement since the 1920s.
		Shamir's policies, therefore, must be determined, on the whole, by a balance between a life-long commitment to certain ideological concepts, and the realities of the international and domestic environments.
