Langtons International Agency is delighted to welcome our new author, Shimon Sheves and his best selling book “Friend”. Shimon Sheves is a seasoned politician and international businessman who served as the Director General and Chief of staff to the late Prime Minister of Israel- Yitzhak Rabin. 'Friend' is the biography of Rabin, written by Sheves who was closer to the Prime Minister than anyone else, and gives a personal look at Rabin's rise to power and eventual assassination.

'Friend' was published by Yediot Aharonot in Israel in March 2020, and instantly became a bestseller, being reprinted three times in less than a year. This is the first time the translated biography is being offered to the English speaking world.

Welcome, Shimon. We are looking forward to finding a great publisher for your book.
