Deborah Hertz, Herman Wouk Chair in Modern Jewish Studies, University of California, San Diego:
“Historians and the broader reading public are lucky to have a new primary source in English offered by the lively voice of Dorothy Bar-Adon. She is witty and empathic, and her lost articles and memoir help us understand why courageous American Jewish souls were attracted to the Zionist project--in a more innocent time than the present.”

Margalit Shilo, Professor in the Land of Israel Department, Bar Ilan University:
"Writing Palestine by Dorothy Kahn Bar-Adon takes the reader back to the seventeen most eventful years (1933 – 1950) in Mandatory Palestine and the beginning of the Jewish state. The author, a Jewish American-born journalist, wrote extensively about everyday life concerning all its aspects. The two editors of these unique documents, Esther Carmel–Hakim and Nancy Rosenfeld collected them from her private unknown archive and from the English daily The Palestine Post, later to become The Jerusalem Post. This book brings forth the noises, sights and feelings of these unforgettable years."
