"Written by one of Israel's most notable scholars, this volume provides a breathtaking
history of Israel from the origins of the Zionist movement in the late 19th century
to the present day. Organized chronologically, the volume explores the emergence of
Zionism in Europe against the backdrop of relations among Jews, Arabs, and Turks,
and the earliest pioneer settlements in Palestine under Ottoman rule. Weaving together
political, social, and cultural developments in Palestine under the British mandate,
Shapira creates a tapestry through which to understand the challenges of Israeli nation
building, including mass immigration, shifting cultural norms, the politics of war
and world diplomacy, and the creation of democratic institutions and a civil society.
References to contemporary diaries, memoirs, and literature bring a human dimension
to this narrative history of Israel from its declaration of independence in 1948 through
successive decade of waging war, negotiating peace, and building a modern state with
a vibrant society and culture. Based on archival sources and the most up-to-date scholarly
research, this authoritative history is ideal for course adoption and a must-read
for anyone with a passionate interest in Israel. Israel: A History will be the gold
standard in the field for years to come." --From publisher description
