For the sake of accuracy and authenticity I have chosen to write about one division which fought in the Sinai in the 1967 Israeli-Arab War. I was attached to General Sharon's division for a month, and most of the material in this book is based on a diary I kept during this period...." With poetic spareness Yael Dayan tells that story.... of days and nights of dust, heat and hardships, of fallen friends mourned and fallen enemies grieved over.
