Abstract
<jats:p><P>A fortunate meeting between Caplan and the younger Sharett created a winning combination of access, translating prowess and scholarly and editorial skill to bring the diary into focus for English readers. To do this, they have supplemented the original diary with notes that cite private letters, minutes from cabinet meetings and public speeches, which further fill in the historical picture that Sharett meant to record.</P> <P>The result is a gripping lesson in historical events, key figures and background context that offers a renewed sense of early Israeli political life. </P></jats:p>
