סיפורה של הפוליטיקה הישראלי The Story of Israeli Politics by Amit Segal

ספר דרמטי, משעשע, מותח וסוחף: הזדמנות נהדרת לצלול לעולם המופלא של הפוליטיקה 

In July 2021 Segal began pre-selling his first book, The Story of Israeli Politics, which was self-published then. According to sources in the industry, about ten thousand books were sold in the first forty-eight hours. His book was illustrated by the chief cartoonist for Haaretz, Amos Biderman.

Segal was born in Haifa and raised in the Israeli settlement Ofra. He is the son of Hagai Segal, an Israeli convicted terrorist and journalist.  Segal is a graduate of the Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and holds a master's degree from University College London (UCL) in public policy. He is a doctoral student in political science at the Hebrew University.

Political commentator Amit Segal announced today that his book "The Story of Israeli Politics" has been translated into Arabic. It is the first Hebrew book to be translated into Arabic by an official publisher since the Abraham Accords.

In a Twitter tweet written in Arabic, Segal wrote: "I am happy to tell you that, after months of hard work, "The Story of Israeli Politics" is being published in Arabic. The United Arab Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research has translated the book and it is now available for purchase throughout the Arab world and also here in Israel".

The book talks about the successes and failures of Israel’s leaders from Ben Gurion to Netanyahu, up to the middle of 2021 when Naftali Bennett was sworn in as Prime Minister. If the tone of the book is like his website, then it should be entertaining as well as informative. Segal writes: “We are the world champions in politics, with the most elections per capita. During the Coronavirus [pandemic], we went to school more times to vote [in the polling stations there] than to drop off the children. But to this day, there is no Hebrew word for politics.”
