Dugdale's entries illuminate her tireless work alongside Chaim Weizmann and other Zionist leaders as they lobbied the British government during one of history's most consequential periods. Written with candor and moral urgency, the diaries present a portrait of a woman of deep conviction navigating the corridors of power at a moment when the fate of European Jewry hung in the balance. This remarkable primary source stands as an indispensable record for scholars and general readers alike who seek to understand the human and political forces that shaped the founding of the State of Israel.
