Book Description
ish Chronicle: “A truly modern history of Zionism has for long been lacking. This gap has now been filled by Professor Laqueuer’s brilliantly comprehensive and ytical survey.” This comprehensive book starts with a discussion of the European background of Zionism since the French Revolution, covers the prehistory of the movement and the five decades of Zionist activities, and ends with the establishment of the State of Israel. Pointing out that some of the most bitter attacks on Zionism have come from ish critics, the work does not proselytize but searches for the truth. Walter Laqueur has written a brilliant account – sympathetic but not uncritical – of this tumultuous story, and his book has become a standard history of one of the most impioned and embattled movements of our time. The Financial Times: “… masterful and comprehensive.”
