The second volume of the former Israeli prime minister's journals from the nation's early years, centering on his time in office.
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 country's fragile armistice with the Arab states. Replete with Moshe Sharett's candid comments on Israel's 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 Sharett's 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 Israel's confrontation with its neighbors was unavoidable by offering daily evidence of Sharett's statesmanship, moderation, diplomacy, and concern for Israel's place in international affairs.
This is the second volume in the 3-volume English abridgement of Sharett's
Yoman Ishi [Personal diary] (Ma'ariv, 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.
"The editors... vastly improved on the Hebrew version by adding Sharett's speeches, reports, cabinet minutes, and other sources to the text.... These additions makes this work so important and welcome by all who aspire to understand the foreign and defense policies of Israel in its first decade." -
