Both of these works recommend themselves to the serious student of the Israeli-Arab conflicts. Read closely they contain bits of information which reveals actual remarks and narrative of crucial events which do not make it into the ‘official and correct’ histories. There is a point in “The Hope’ where Moshe Dayan bluntly says of the survival of the Jewish state in the War of Independence ‘We did it ourselves. No one else has any credit for it.’ A true statement and it squares with Dayan's actual attitudes which had to be kept pablumized less it upset US Jews and other westerners.
