Before you is an autobiographical work, a passionate confession, which reflects one of the most striking pages in the history of the Zionist movement - the creation of the Jewish Legion. In his memoirs, Vladimir (Zeev) Jabotinsky tells the story of Jewish volunteers who, as part of the British army during the First World War, fought for the liberation of Palestine (Eretz Israel) from Ottoman rule. This is a strict and laconic story about the everyday life and exploits of soldiers and commanders, about real events that soon after the war began to be filled with myths and speculation. Jabotinsky's language is poetic; the author was once predicted to have a great literary future, but he devoted himself to the cause of the national revival of his people.
