For eighteen centuries pious Jews had prayed for the return to
Jerusalem, but only in the revolutionary atmosphere of
nineteenth-century Europe was this yearning transformed into an
active political philosophy: Zionism. In The Making of Modern
Zionism, the distinguished political scientist Shlomo Avineri
rejects the common view that Zionism was solely a reaction to
anti-Semitism and persecution. Rather, he sees it as part of the
universal quest for self-determination. In sharply-etched
intellectual profiles of Zionism's major thinkers from Moses Hess
to Theodore Herzl and from Vladimir Jabotinsky to David Ben Gurion,
Avineri traces the evolution of this quest from its intellectual
origins in the early nineteenth century to the establishment of the
State of Israel. In an expansive new epilogue, he tracks the rise
of religious Zionism since the 1970s, explaining its pernicious
effect on the nation that secular Zionism created. The result is a
book that enables us to understand, as perhaps never before, one of
the truly revolutionary ideas of our time.
