The History of Israel. From the Origins of the Zionist Movement to the Intifada of the Early 21st Century

In 1896, Jewish public figure Theodor Herzl published a political pamphlet calling for the establishment of a new cultural center in Palestine. Thus, the Zionist movement was born. This book presents an amazing and complex history of the modern state of Israel, which begins at the end of the 19th century and reaches into the early 21st century. Weaving together political, social, and cultural events in Palestine during the British presence, the author creates a vivid historical tapestry. This narrative reflects all key issues of Israeli nation-building, including mass immigration, changes in cultural norms, war policies, diplomatic relations, as well as the creation of democratic institutions and civil society.
