A radical reappraisal of two key figures in the history of the
Israeli Right, this is the first book to explore in depth the
development of military Zionism, and gives important insights into
the political status of Israel today. Why did Israel shift from a
state based on pioneering egalitarianism and 'making the desert
bloom' to one which is chiefly known for its military prowess? "The
Triumph of Military Zionism" examines Israel's shift to the right
at the hands of Menachem Begin, the supposed 'disciple' of Vladimir
Jabotinsky. Shindler's book uses original research to challenge the
conventional wisdom that Begin was the natural heir to Jabotinsky.
He demonstrates through hitherto unpublished sources how Israel
drifted away from Jabotinsky's ideas towards a maximalist Zionism
because Begin's very selective interpretation of his mentor's words
did not reflect Jabotinsky's intentions. This invaluable addition
to the study of Israel's political history will appeal to both
Middle Eastern and military historians.
