This three-part documentary series looks at how Moshe Dayan, Yitzhak Rabin and Ariel Sharon shaped the destiny of Israel, and indeed the entire Middle East. Israel's Generals is a comparison between the three leaders and explores why Israel, proud to be a democracy, continue to choose generals as its political leaders? The program also asks whether there will ever be peace as long as fighters lead the way.
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 ver the combined armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan in just six days was later credited mainly to him.
