Not all actions

Not all actions, while the diaries were being written, were recorded. If unmentioned, the action was unrecorded. But no recorded action was omitted. The diaries join Meir's story on Rose Manor - the story of rehabilitation after injury in a harsh action against the police. This occurred near the edge of Mount Hebron at the time of the Sinai Campaign. Read the discourse presented in the book with a grain of salt, though it is real. In the telling of one story, another unfolded. I asked Meir to come to me and tell me the story of my sister Shoshanna, murdered by Bedouins in the Judean desert at the end of 1954. Shoshanna's story led to Meir's story. Our conversations lasted over a year and were recorded on tape.
