Moshe Dayan

London: Quartet Books, 1972 On back cover: "In many respects Moshe Dayan is Israel. He was the first child to be born on the first Kibbutz, he saw his home attacked by Arabs when he was five years old, and he has been fighting back ever since, struggling for the survival of the Jewish community in Palestine. But because he was born and bred in the Middle East he has a wiser, more realistic understanding of the problems there than most immigrant Jews who have not grown up with Arabs or learnt their language. This apparent contradiction is only one of many which characterize the man, and which have been brought out so sharply in this penetrating biography. The sensitive child who became a ferocious, daring guerrilla fighter; the ruthless hard-hitting military commander who pulled his punches throughout the Six-Day War; the man of action who became minister of agriculture and eventually a revered national leader of Churchillian stature: Shabtai Teveth presents here the complete man in an unbiased, absorbing study which has earned high praise." ------------------ 426 pages including index.
