Not without controversy, Ariel Sharon was one of Israel's greatest military, political leaders.

His snatching of victory from the jaws of defeat in the Yom Kippur war was brilliant. And he never forgot who the enemy was or how they should be treated,

In a New York Times Magazine interview many years ago, he told how in the War of Independence he had battled the Arab armies on the very same land in which he sat telling the story as owner of one of the largest farms in Israel. He was fighting on the front lines against Jordan,only a few soldiers surviving with him, the battles so relentless he hadn't eaten or slept for days.

During the fighting he was ordered to retreat but never received the message due to his radio having failed. That was what kept him in the front lines for days on end.

Finally, he could tolerate it no more and with every last ounce of strength crawled away in search of water, food. He finally happened upon a small pool of blood having accumulated from his now dead fellow soldiers after draining downhill and in which he dived into quenching his thirst and in the process somehow managing to survive.

And then, in telling the reporter the harrowing story of how against all odds he managed to survive said, "And now my enemies will say, I drink blood, too."
