This collection of reports, commentaries, interviews and opinion columns, which appeared in Haaretz during Ariel Sharon's life and immediately following his death, is an attempt to encompass those many facets and contradictions and offer a warts-and-all portrait from a wide range of different viewpoints. It includes prominent current and former Haaretz writers such as Aluf Benn (now Haaretz Editor-in-Chief), Ari Shavit, Akiva Eldar, Chemi Shalev, Yoel Marcus, Yossi Verter, Amos Harel, Gideon Levy and Yair Ettinger, and outstanding Israeli and American Jewish writers and commentators, such as David Grossman, Amb. Daniel Kurtzer and Rabbi Eric Yoffie.
Love or loathe, respect or revile, Sharon for all his sins and saving graces deserves to be seen as a man in full.
