This book got Benjamin Netanyahu elected as Prime Minister the second time. In August 2005 he was floundering, stepped back from his political ambitions to write this book, then came back to win leadership in Likud a few days before the official publication date.
The hardliners know, through "Samson Blinded," that Netanyahu is taking the old Roman approach: you either become absorbed into our economy peacefully or face our brutality until you are driven to the frontiers. There is confidence now that Netanyahu will continue with the Zionist mission to restore "the Kingdom of David" - and all that implies - by the "unwritten" target date, the centennial of 2048.
