Description

Israel: A History by Anita Shapira provides a comprehensive narrative of Israel's development from the late 19th century to the present day. This authoritative history explores the emergence of Zionism in Europe, the early pioneer settlements in Palestine under Ottoman rule, and the challenges of Israeli nation-building.

Shapira's gripping narrative weaves together political, social, and cultural developments in Palestine under the British mandate, shedding light on the complexities of mass immigration, shifting cultural norms, and the politics of war and world diplomacy. The book draws on archival sources and the most up-to-date scholarly research to create a rich tapestry of Israel's history.

With references to contemporary diaries, memoirs, and literature, this history brings a human dimension to the story of Israel, from its declaration of independence in 1948 to successive decades of waging war, negotiating peace, and building a modern state with a vibrant society and culture.
