What is My Struggle for Peace, Volume 2 (1955) : The Diary of Moshe Sharett, 1953–1956 about?

The second volume of the former Israeli prime minister's journals from the nation's early years, centering on his time in office.My Struggle for Peace is a remarkable political document offering insights into the complex workings of the young Israeli political system, set against the backdrop of the disintegration of the country's fragile armistice with the Arab states. Replete with Moshe Sharett's candid comments on Israel's first-generation leaders and world statesmen of the day, the diary also tells the dramatic human story of a political career cut short—the removal of an unusually sensitive, dedicated, and talented public servant. My Struggle for Peace is, above all, an intimate record of the decline of Sharett's moderate approach and the rise of more “activist-militant” trends in Israeli society, culminating in the Suez/Sinai war of 1956. The diary challenges the popular narrative that Israel's confrontation with its neighbors was unavoidable by offering daily evidence of Sharett's statesmanship, moderation, diplomacy, and concern for Israel's place in international affairs. This is the second volume in the 3-volume English abridgement of Sharett's Yoman Ishi [Personal diary]
