The Story of Ruth Dayan, published in New York in 1973 and written with Helga Dudman, is the memoir of Ruth Dayan, who was married to Moshe Dayan from 1935 to 1971. It follows her life in Israel, including her early years, marriage, farming life, war, divorce and public work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book covers her work in crafts and the support of new immigrants, along with the 1948 war and her 1960 visit to Albert Schweitzer in Gabon. It offers a personal view of Israel's early decades from a woman close to its public life while pursuing her own career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back cover carries praise from Barbara Tuchman, who calls the memoir intimate and authentic. A signed copy in its original jacket is a pleasing association piece for collectors of Israeli history and notable women's memoirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Ruth Dayan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuth Dayan was born Ruth Schwartz in Haifa in 1917 and died in Tel Aviv in 2021.
