Googling about, I find that Jimmy Carter was very impressed with the depth of 
knowledge about Gettysburg displayed by Sadat and his generals (and 
accompanying Israeli generals) during this visit.  Begin was not really familiar with 
the battle itself, but he knew Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by heart.
