Read in 1980's. Just brilliant fascinating oral history of Kibbutz Beit HaShita, the extraordinary characters who founded it, their struggles and dilemmas, how the women understood their lives as socialists before feminism. and for anyone interested in community dynamics, the bitter split into factions during the stalinist era, the enduring bitterness and heartbreak, and the fact nobody could actually remember what the split was about! Gave me a lot of insight into community conflict generally

Serious treatment of kibbutz life as viewed from individuals' personal experience. This book has turned out to be absolutely authentic as I've found out from my own experience (some previous and much subsequent). Often loaned out and recommended.

The detailed and revealing look at the development of the Kibbutz movement from its inception and covering in great detail the split between the Stalinist and non-Stalinist groups.
