One of Newsweek's Ten Best Books of the Year
In this penetrating and provocative look at the state of
contemporary Israel, acclaimed Israeli historian and journalist
Gershom Gorenberg reveals how the nation's policies are undermining
its democracy and existence as a Jewish state, and explains what
must be done to bring it back from the brink. Refuting shrill
defenses of Israel and equally strident attacks, Gorenberg shows
that the Jewish state is, in fact, unique among countries born in
the postcolonial era: it began as a parliamentary democracy and has
remained one. Yet shortsighted policies, unintended consequences,
and its refusal to heed warnings now threaten its many
accomplishments.
Based on groundbreaking historical research and a quarter
century of experience reporting in the region, The Unmaking of
Israel is a brilliant, deeply personal critique by a progressive
Israeli, and a plea for realizing the nation's potential.
