Written by one of Israel's most notable scholars, this volume
provides a breathtaking history of Israel from the origins of the
Zionist movement in the late nineteenth century to the present day.
Organized chronologically, the volume explores the emergence of
Zionism in Europe against the backdrop of relations among Jews,
Arabs, and Turks, and the earliest pioneer settlements in Palestine
under Ottoman rule. Weaving together political, social, and
cultural developments in Palestine under the British mandate,
Shapira creates a tapestry through which to understand the
challenges of Israeli nation building, including mass immigration,
shifting cultural norms, the politics of war and world diplomacy,
and the creation of democratic institutions and a civil society.
References to contemporary diaries, memoirs, and literature bring a
human dimension to this narrative history of Israel from its
declaration of independence in 1948 through successive decades of
waging war, negotiating peace, and building a modern state with a
vibrant society and culture.
Based on archival sources and the most up-to-date scholarly
research, this authoritative history is a must-read for anyone with
a passionate interest in Israel. Israel: A History will be the gold
standard in the field for years to come.
