In the Lion's Den: Israel and the World

by Danny Danon, Nikki Haley Narrated by Trevor Thompson

Overview

In the Lion's Den is a book about the life events that encouraged Danny Danon to pursue his chosen career path and take his distinct and direct approach during his time as Knesset Member and later on in his political career. It is a book that tells the story of his journey to the United Nations and the key events that occurred during the five years he served as Israel's 17th Permanent Representative to the UN.



In the Lion's Den draws on the unique perspective of a man who has spent his entire career in his nation's public service. Danon shares his experiences on the front lines of Israel's global presence-the successes as well as the disappointments. Danon makes a compelling case for an Israel that must be proud of its identity and faith; forge relationships with diverse peoples; make autonomous domestic decisions; and determine its own foreign policy.



In this book, Danon lays out a roadmap for Israel's future on the regional and global stage and outlines the path Israel must follow in order to continue to make a positive contribution to global prosperity and peace and ensure its safety in a fraught region. As the Jewish state enters the next phase of its existence, Danon's inspiring vision will help Israel fulfill the noble vision of its founders.

Editorial Reviews

Ambassador Blanchard

In the Lion's Den is a fascinating book that explores how international undertakings are woven behind closed doors and how personal relationships are key to the success of any diplomat. Ambassador Danny Danon shows that with determination, wisdom and personal charm, even Israel can succeed in a place as challenging as the United Nations.

Ali Velshi

"Danny Danon and I disagree on much that relates to Israel but both of us champion active discussion. In The Lion’s Den is Danon‘s detailed articulation of his view of a way forward for Israel. It deserves scrutiny and debate, from which Danon has never shied.
