Private Notes
Part one focuses on Moshe Dayan and provides a detailed personal and political portrait of the controversial Israeli general turned statesman. The film looks at Dayan's crowning moment in 1967, when the Soviet-equipped armies of Egypt and Syria were threatening to invade Israel and he was appointed Defence Minister. His appointment was a great boost to morale and in the media; the subsequent victory over the combined armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan in just six days was later credited mainly to him. Part One features interviews with Henry Kissinger (former US Secretary of State), Asi Dayan (Moshe Dayan's son), Haidar Abdel-Shafi (Palestinian leader) and Uri Avnery.
