Freedom is the oxygen of the soul"" First Edition of Moshe Dayan's Autobiography; Inscribed by Him To Movie Executive David Wallerstein
First edition. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by the author on the half title page, "David M. Dayan." The recipient was Paramount Movie executive David Wallerstein. Walt Disney and Wasserstein were close friends and called Wallerstein "a magnificent showman" who "could smell a hit or a flop through a six-foot wall," such was his gut instinct. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with a small closed tear.
"Moshe Dayan" is the autobiography of a soldier who never forgot his roots as a farmer, a loner who rose to the highest echelons of government. Here he describes his kibbutz childhood, his involvement in the Jewish underground, the battles he fought as the head of a commando unit in the War of Independence, his experiences as chief of staff and mastermind of the 1956 Sinai Campaign, and his tenure as Minister of Defence during the Six Day and Yom Kippur wars. One of the greatest generals in modern history, Dayan was also a man who hated the suffering that war brings, and who loved the land of Israel more than himself. He writes of his heroes, friends and enemies, providing candid portraits of Kissinger, Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir and other notables. This is a story of a brilliant soldier who grew up to be one of the most respected and heroic figures in the Middle East.
