Описание: My Struggle for Peace is a remarkable political document offering insights into the complex workings of the young Israeli political system, set against the backdrop of the disintegration of the countrys fragile armistice with the Arab states. Replete with the diarists candid comments on Israels first generation leaders and world statesmen of the day, the diary also tells the dramatic human story of a political career cut short--the removal of an unusually sensitive, dedicated, and talented public servant. My Struggle for Peace is, above all, an intimate record of the decline of Moshe Sharetts moderate approach and the rise of more activist-militant trends in Israeli society, culminating in the Suez/Sinai war of 1956. The diary challenges the popular narrative that Israels confrontation with its neighbors was unavoidable by offering daily evidence of Sharetts statesmanship, moderation, diplomacy, and concern for Israels place in international affairs.
This is the first volume in the long-awaited 3-volume English abridgement of Sharetts Yoman Ishi Personal diary] (Maariv, 1978) maintains the integrity, flavor, and impact of the 8-volume Hebrew original and includes additional documentary material that was not accessible at the time. The volumes are also available to purchase as a set or individually.
