Shimon Peres's autobiography will be published this week, close to a year after Israel's former prime minister and president died aged 93.

No Room For Small Dreams: Courage, Imagination and the Making of Modern Israel promises to tell the full story of a life he describes as having been “entwined with the birth and construction of Israel”. 

Mr Peres completed work on the book a matter of weeks before his death, of a stroke, on September 28, 2016. 

According to a review in the New York Times, the book amounts "to a kind of ideological will and testament" of arguably Israel's most significant statesman.
