It is less a historical document than history seen through the eyes and heart of a person who made and lived it. The commune seemed the solution on the eve of the first World War. Recollections of the development of a new society in the ancient land of Israel. Three generations of Israelis are presented in "Pioneers of Israel," a collection of reminiscences. The author is Shmuel Dayan, one of Israel's pioneers, a member of the Israeli Parliament and author up to that time of five books in Hebrew. Shmuel Dayan (8 August 1891 - 11 August 1968) was a Zionist activist during the British Mandate of Palestine and an Israeli politician who served in the first three Knessets. Born in the town of Zhashkiv in the Russian Empire (today in Ukraine), he joined the Zionist movement as a boy and emigrated to Palestine, then under Ottoman rule, in 1908. He worked in agriculture in Petah Tikva, Rehovot, Yavne'el and Kinneret until 1911, when he became active in Hapoel Hatzair (the Young Workers Party). He was also one of the earliest settlers in Degania, the country's first kibbutz, though he left in 1921 to help establish the moshav Nahalal. According to his grandson, he, as opposed to his wife Devorah, never personally worked more than 2 weeks at the kibbutz, but spent most of his life in hotels. As one of the leaders of the nascent Moshav Movement, he made several trips to the United States and Poland as a Zionist emissary. In 1949, he was elected to the First Knesset for the Mapai party, and served as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset. In 1951, he used his official Service Passport to travel abroad, mainly to the US, on official meetings. He continued as a member of the next two Knessets, until 1959. Shmuel Dayan was the father of Israeli general and politician Moshe Dayan and the grandfather of politician Yael Dayan and director Assi Dayan. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
