Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This is a controversial book. It is a critical account of the
cultural roots of Zionism. John Rose shows how this powerful
political force is based in ancient stories and mythology: many of
these stories, as with other mythologies, have no basis in fact.
However, because Zionism is a living political force, these myths
have been used to justify very real and political ends -- namely,
the expulsion and continuing persecution of the Palestinians.
Chapter-by-chapter, John Rose scrutinises the roots of the myths of
Zionism. He separates fact from fiction presenting a detailed
historiography of their origins and development. This includes an
examination of biblical archeology, as well as a detailed
exploration of Judaism's links to this particular region of the
Middle East. He shows clearly that Zionism makes many false claims
on Jewish religion and history. He questions its rationale as a
response to European anti-Semitism, and shows that, if there is
ever to be peace and reconciliation in the land of Palestine, this
intellectual dishonesty must be addressed.
