Book description

Detailed historical reconstruction of the origins of Jewish political thought. By tracing the development of Socialist Zionism and Revisionism in the years prior to Israel's independence, the book demonstrates how the political, social and economic foundations of the future state of Israel were negotiated in this period and how these ideologies have endured and are reflected in Israeli diplomacy. In this respect, the comprehensive analysis is key to an understanding of the basis of Israeli international relations and the fragmentary nature of its politics. The book promises to become a standard reference for students of Zionist and Israeli politics, as well as those interested in the Middle East generally.

Reviews

‘… Sofer has done an excellent job. In elegant, graceful prose, he paints a penetrating portrait of pre-state politics, from the right to the Communists on the far-left, illustrating the process by which David Ben-Gurion and his particular faction of the Labour movement achieved hegemony.’

Itamar Rabinovich Source: Haa´retz and Herald Tribune

‘… dispassionate, sober account … meticulously researched and succinctly written.’
