In a detailed historical reconstruction of the origins of Jewish political thought, the book traces the development of Zionist ideology in the years prior to Israel's independence. The analysis demonstrates how the political, social and economic foundations of the future state were negotiated in this period and how these ideologies have endured and are reflected in present-day Israeli diplomacy and in the fragmentary nature of its politics. The book will become a standard reference for students of Zionist and Israeli politics and for those interested in the Middle East generally.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"For upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty." Choice
"Sofer is to be commended for writing a dispassionate and sober account of Zionist and Israeli foreign policy, one sensitive to detail without losing sight of the broad picture." Middle East Quarterly
"...he has produced a rich ideological history of the Yishuv." SHOFAR
"...a detailed examination of the disparate and malleable foreign-policy perspectives embraced by Zionism." The International History Review
"The strength of Sofer's volume lies in the detailed normative profiles it provides for many of Zionism's early leaders. It is a rich resource for those who wish to learn more about the political views of these individuals, both in general and with respect to the Zionist struggle." Canadian Review of Studies in Nationalism 2001
