YaDayan (born 12 February 1939) is an Israeli politician and author. She served as a member of the Knesset between 1992 and 2003, and from 2008 to 2013 was the chair of Tel Aviv city council. Her service on the city council ended with the 2013 election. She is the daughter of Moshe Dayan. Dayan first made a name for herself as an author and newspaper columnist, writing columns for Yedioth Ahronoth, Ma'ariv, Al HaMishmar and Davar. She has published five novels as well as a memoir of the Six-Day War called Israel Journal: June 1967 and a biography of her father called My Father, His Daughter. In 1992, Dayan was elected to the Knesset on the Labor Party list and served as chairwoman of the Committee on the Status of Women. She was instrumental in pushing forward Israel's sexual harassment law in the 1990s. Reelected in 1996 and 1999 (as a member of One Israel, an alliance of Labor, Meimad and Gesher), Dayan became chairwoman of the Committee on the Status of Women for a second time in 1999. Yael Dayan writes about her father, Moshe Dayan, Israel's foremost military leader. Moshe Dayan (20 May 1915 - 16 October 1981) was an Israeli military leader and politician. As commander of the Jerusalem front in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (1953-58) during the 1956 Suez Crisis, but mainly as Defense Minister during the Six-Day War in 1967, he became to the world a fighting symbol of the new state of Israel. In the 1930s, Dayan joined the Haganah, the pre-state Jewish defense force of Mandatory Palestine. He served in the Special Night Squads under Orde Wingate during the Arab revolt in Palestine and later lost an eye in a raid on Vichy forces in Lebanon during World War II. Dayan was close to David Ben-Gurion and joined him in leaving the Mapai party and setting up the Rafi party in 1965 with Shimon Peres. Dayan became Defence Minister just before the 1967 Six-Day War. After the Yom Kippur War of 1973, during which Dayan served as Defense Minister, he was blamed for the lack of preparedness; after some time he resigned. In 1977, following the election of Menachem Begin as Prime Minister, Dayan joined the Likud-led government as Foreign Minister, playing an important part in negotiating the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. Moshe Dayan was one of the greatest military leaders in Israel's short history. A child of the first kibbutz movement in British Palestine, he went on to lead Israel to victory in the 1948 War of Independence and to liberate Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War. Dayan was not only a soldier but a politician, an archaeologist, and a larger-than-life figure who helped shape the state of Israel. In My Father, His Daughter, YaDayan, who herself served in the Israeli Parliament, shares an uncensored look into her father's life and her own conflicted relationship with him. With poignancy and candor, Dayan creates a profound yet nuanced profile of her father. She relates his strong national pride, his boldness in dealing with other world leaders, and his troubles at home to his disintegrating marriage and multiple affairs. As revealing as My Father, His Daughter is of the man behind the myth, it is also a snapshot of a loving relationship between Yaand Moshe Dayan, and of a daughter's admiration and respect for a complicated but loving father., Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1985, 2.75, Presidio Press, 1980. Presumed first edition/first printing. Hardcover. Good in good dust jacket. DJ has some wear, soiling, and edge tears. Illustrated front endpaper.. Bill Yenne Studios (Cartography).. xii, 479 p. Maps. Illustratons. Index. The peace of the High Holiday in 1973 was shattered when the Egyptians launched their attack across the Suez Canal. The war that began on October 6 fook Israel by surprise. The attempt at a counterattack on October 8 failed. How the Israeli Defense Forces managed to recover their strength and maintain their morale so that, when the cease-fire was imposed, their forces were seventy miles from Cairo on the southern front, and twenty-five miles from Damascus on the Syrian front, is the substance of this book. General Adan commanded an armored division on the southern front. In his words: "fate placed me at the head of an armored division whose course of battle began at the north of the Suez Canal on the east bank, and ended at the south of the Canal on the west bank. The chain of battles extended for nineteen days." Adan accounts for every move of those days. Problems in command, disagreements among generals, the courage, drive and the intensity of the fog of battle are related with passion that can leave no reader uninvolved. Military analysts and historians will find the account of strategy, tactics and the internal workings of the IDF revealing. The non-military will find the human element overwhelming. The individuals in brigade and battalion are intimately portrayed. This was a war in which fathers and sons fought together, and frequently the sons outranked their elders. The logistics of moving men and equipment over the sand to the bridgeheads under enemy fire, the engineering feats involved in crossing the Suez, are matters fraught with suspense involving as they did so many individual lives, and the life of a country. This is the first personal account by an Israeli general of distinction of an extraordinary military operation. One of the battles in which Adan fought has been compared, in essence, to Hannibal's famous victory over the Roman army in 217 B.C. (Trevor Dupuy in Elusive Victory, p. 510). From Wikipedia: "Adan was born in Kfar Gileadi, British Mandate Palestine, in 1926 as Avraham Eidelson. ] He joined the Palmach in 1943. During the 1948 Arab Israeli War he was a company commander in the 8th Battalion of the Negev Brigade, and participated in Operation Uvda, in which the brigade captured the Jordanian outpost of Umm Rashrash, now known as Eilat, at the southernmost tip of the newly-created country. It was he who raised the Ink Flag claiming the territory for Israel, as depicted in the famous photograph of the event. The iconic image has been compared to Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. Adan joined the Armored Corps in 1949 and founded the first Sherman tank unit in the IDF. During the 1956 Suez War, Lieutenant Colonel Adan commanded the 82nd battalion of the 7th Armored Brigade in the Sinai, defeating several Egyptian forces in the region. After the war he became the operations officer of the corps, then the commander of the 7th Brigade and the Armored Corps School. During the June 1967 Six-Day War, Adan was the deputy commander of the Armored Corps and of the 31st Armored Division, fighting again in the Sinai. On 10 March 1969, he became the commander of the Armored Corps. Major General Adan was defending the northern portion of the Israeli defense along the Suez Canal when the October 1973 Yom Kippur War broke out. As the commander of the 162nd Division, his division suffered severe losses from 6 to 8 October, in repeated attempts to stop the Egyptian attack and push it back across the canal. Later on during the war he led his unit across the canal into Egyptian territory just north of the Great Bitter Lake, during Operation Stouthearted Men. He then maneuvered his unit southward to Suez City, where his unit surrounded the Egyptian Third Army. From 1974 to 1977 he served as the Armed Forces Attaché at the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC. Adan was among the founders of kibbutzim Nirim and Gevulot.", Presidio Press, 1980, 2.5<
