Media Reviews

There is no comparable volume available today that allows English readers direct access to such an array of primary sources. --David Engel, author of Zionism: A Short History of a Big Idea


An invaluable resource to anyone interested in the history of Zionism, the development of the Zionist enterprise in Palestine, and the transformation of what was initially a small and marginal Jewish community into the State of Israel. For teachers of history, this collection of documents will be an invaluable and essential resource. --Arieh Saposnik, author of Becoming Hebrew: The Creation of a Hebrew National Culture in Ottoman Palestine

Arieh Saposnik, author of Becoming Hebrew: The Creation of a Hebrew National Culture in Ottoman Palestine


This collection of 62 original source documents, many of them translated from Hebrew, represents a marvelous array of materials that allow the reader to develop an historical and social appreciation of the early Zionist efforts to create a Jewish state. Sanford R. Silverburg, Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews
The intention of the editors of this indispensable collection of documents is for use as a classroom resource that might accompany a textbook, or as a stand alone source. I recommend this volume to faculty who teach university and graduate courses dealing with the history of Israel as well as the Zionist movement. Jack Fischel, Jewish Book Council
