Last updated October 31, 2026
Robert Slater's biography of Moshe Dayan traces him from his birth at Kibbutz Degania in 1915 and the loss of his eye in 1941 to his command of the Israeli army in the 1956 Sinai campaign. It covers his tenure as defense minister during the 1967 conflict, the criticism he faced after the Yom Kippur War, his role as foreign minister in the Camp David talks with Egypt, and his death in 1981.
