Replete with the diarist'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. \u003ci\u003eMy Struggle for Peace\u003c\/i\u003e is, above all, an intimate record of the decline of Moshe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first volume in the long-awaited 3-volume English abridgement of Sharett's \u003ci\u003eYoman Ishi\u003c\/i\u003e [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.
