Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ya''akov Meridor was a Revisionist Zionist activist, Irgun commander and Israeli politician. Meridor was born in Poland in 1913, to a family of middle-class merchants. After hearing reports of the first Arab rebellion in Mandate Palestine, he became a member of the Betar Movement in 1930. He studied law at the University of Warsaw. He immigrated to Palestine in 1932, and joined the Irgun a year later. In 1941 he accompanied David Raziel on a mission to Iraq in order to sabotage oil fields on the outskirts of Baghdad. When Raziel was killed along with a British officer, Meridor returned to Palestine and took over as Chief Commander of the Irgun. In 1943, Meridor relinquished command of the Irgun to Menachem Begin, but held senior positions in the Irgun until the Haganah handed him over to the British in 1945. He was sent to various detention camps in Africa, and carried out daring escape attempts, finally succeeding in 1948 and arriving in Israel on the day independence was declared.
