One year since his death, Peres memoir to be released tomorrow

As Israel begins marking one year since the death of former president Shimon Peres this week with memorial events, the respected statesman’s memoir is also being released.

The publication of his memoir “No Room for Small Dreams: Courage, Imagination and the Making of Modern Israel,” is set to be released tomorrow.

Peres had completed work on the book just weeks before his death at 93 on September 28, 2016, according to the publishers.

In the book, Peres maps out his journey from his small Polish village as a child, touching on major events such as the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation.

“At the time of this writing, we face new dangers. A decline in tolerance. A rise in nationalism. A world at the height of prosperity that is not widely shared,” Peres writes in the epilogue.

But despite such negative forces, Peres says “I remain optimistic.”
