Israeli History, Politics and Society

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel, Adelman provides a fresh perspective to view one of the most controversial states in the world and avoids the highly charged ideological descriptions that often plague such discussions. This book provides a general history of the rise of Israel since the early Zionist efforts at state building. In particular it seeks to show how unlikely Israel’s creation was and that it should best be understood as a series of revolutions.
