- Summary:
- In this autobiography by Kimmerling (formerly, sociology, Hebrew U. of Jerusalem), he introduces himself as "a guerilla fighter for ideas" and as a public intellectual. As such, his autobiography is primarily focused on his interventions into the Israeli political sphere, where he was frequently critical of Israeli state policies and political figures, while retaining a commitment to Zionism, albeit a commitment that claims to seek peace and justice for the Palestinians of Israel and of the occupied territories of Gaza and the West Bank.
