330 .. $a Vladimir Jabotinsky (1880-1940) was a man of huge paradoxes and contradictions and
has been the most misunderstood of all Zionist politicians--a first-rate novelist,
a celebrated Russian journalist, and the founder of the branch of Zionism now headed
by Benjamin Netanyahu. This biography, the first in English in nearly two decades,
undertakes to answer central questions about Jabotinsky as a writer, a political thinker,
and a leader. Hillel Halkin sets aside the stereotypes to which Jabotinsky has been
reduced by his would-be followers and detractors alike. Halkin explains the importance
of Odessa, Jabotinsky's native city, in molding his character and outlook; discusses
his novels and short stories, showing the sometimes hidden connections between them
and Jabotinsky's political thought, and studies a political career that ended in tragic
failure. Halkin also addresses Jabotinsky's position, unique among the great figures
of Zionist history, as both a territorial maximalist and a principled believer in
democracy. The author inquires why Jabotinsky was often accused of fascist tendencies
though he abhorred authoritarian and totalitarian politics, and investigates the many
opposed aspects of his personality and conduct while asking whether or not they had
an ultimate coherence. Few figures in twentieth-century Jewish life were quite so
admired and loathed, and Halkin's splendid, subtle book explores him with empathy
and lucidity
