Why did Israel shift from a state based on pioneering egalitarianism and "making the desert bloom" to one which is chiefly known for its military prowess? Colin Shindler examines Israel's shift to the right at the hands of Menachem Begin, the supposed "disciple" of Vladimir Jabotinsky. He demonstrates through previously unpublished sources how Israel drifted away from Jabotinsky's ideas towards a maximalist Zionism promoted by Begin.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'At the heart of Colin Shindler's book is how and why Israel transformed itself from a socialist state, based on pioneering egalitarianism, to one of the right. But it is Shindler's critical analysis of the relationship between Jabotinsky and Begin that makes this study so compelling.' - The Jewish Chronicle 'Shindler's thorough, provoking book.' - The Jewish Chronicle
