"Abba Eban--the incomparable voice of the State of Israel--by force of intellect and language became one of the most admired statesmen on the world stage. As ambassador to the United Nations and the United States and as Foreign Minister of Israel, Mr. Eban eloquently represented his nation. This audio record of his most significant speeches offers an unequaled picture of the young country in the first two decades of its modern national life--with insights on the Middle East situation that still resonate today."
-- Walter Cronkite
