Hailed as "the most brilliant diplomatist of the second half of the 20th century… Israel's representative at the United Nations during the independence struggle of 1948, its ambassador to both Washington and the United Nations during the Middle East war of 1956… Abba Eban gave elegant and passionate expression to Israel's right to exist" (New York Times).
