Galia Golan: An Academic Pioneer on the Soviet Union, Peace and Conflict Studies, and a Peace and Feminist Activist With a Foreword by William Zartman and a Preface by George Breslauer Synopsis

This is an autobiography of an unusual and versatile woman, focusing on her academic development and achievements as well as her international activism.  In addition to a  discussion of the origins and path of the author's academic work and activism (for peace and for women's rights), that deals with the author's work in US intelligence and immigration to Israel in the 1960s, the volume includes ground-breaking articles from the different, often controversial areas of her academic specializations (Czechoslovak communism, Soviet foreign policy; peace studies, the Arab-Israeli conflict; women's rights).  The volume also includes photos of the author at work and in action. -  The book offers an inside look at a lifetime of courageous activities and ground breaking intellectual pursuits of a woman who was a leader in her academic field and in the struggle for peace and for women's rights. -  The includedtexts themselves shed light on important topics, both past and present, including the Israeli-Arab Conflict and also the issue of women and peace.
