He went to jail in 1939 for fighting in the Jewish underground against the British; two years later he lost his left eye fighting for the British against the Vichy French in Syria. In the Palestine war of 1948-49, Colonel Dayan's motorized Israeli units captured Lydda and Ramie, cleared the Negev desert. In 1953 Dayan became chief of staff of Israel's armed forces, plotted the brilliant blitzkrieg...
