Publication of the first full length biography of Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin has been delayed until September because of the forthcoming general election. Robson Books, publisher of the book by Robert Slater, a young American journalist living in Jerusalem, told the JTA that it was originally to have appeared in May, the manuscript was finished and could have been brought out on the eve of the election. However, the publisher preferred to wait until autumn in order to describe the election and Rabin’s other experiences in 1977.
