In the days following the death of Yitzhak Shamir more articles appeared examining his life, deeds and ideas than at any time during his life. Perhaps this is the normal course of things - but I feel it may be useful to writers, researchers and students of Israeli history to have two dozen of the most interesting essays all on one list.
I do not agree with what all of the writers have stated here but found these to be well worth posting. They come from a wide variety of pro-Israel viewpoints: some authors are American, some Israeli, some rightist and some less so. Many are Orthodox Jews and many are not. If you find I have left any articles out, please use the comments section to let my readers know.
The list is in no particular order.
