Description
Zionism is probably the most controversial and emotive word in the contemporary lexicon. Like "Marxism", it is bandied about as a term of praise or abuse, with little or no understanding of, or reference to, its original ideology. This book explains what Zionism is, the political theory and the ideology. It analyzes Zionist thought by pen-portraits of the major figures and the formative influences on them, offering a bird's eye view of intellectual trends in 19th century Europe, as they affected Jewry, placing people like Herzl or Hess in the context of this social, economic and political backgrounds.
