description: In this translation of a memoir published in Hebrew by the Ministry of Defense Publishing House in 2000, an early Zionist traces the situation culminating in Israel's 1948 War of Independence. Among the experiences Sacharov recounts is his role in the Haganah, the military arm of the pre-state Jewish community. He also discusses Israeli leaders (some pictured), secret arms deals with the US, and what he regards as some historians' misguided views.
