In his autobiography, Dr. Beilin tells the story of a person who was born in Israel a few weeks after its establishment. Aside from his book telling the story of his country, it is also a suspenseful story of the man behind two major milestone in Israel and in the Jewish world: the Oslo agreement between the PLO and Israel, and the Birthright-Israel project.

It is a unique opportunity to understand the motivations, the impediments, and the emotions behind the scenes of the projects which have influenced Israel and world Jewry.
