| Summary: | In the early 20th century, with Russia full of intense social strife and political struggle, Vladimir Yevgenyevich (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky (1880-1940) was a Revisionist Zionist leader and Jewish Public intellectual. Although previously glossed over, these years are crucial to Jabotinsky's development as a thinker, politician and Zionist. Brian Horowitz focuses on Jabotinsky's commitments Zionism and Palestine as he embraced radicalism and fought against antisemitism and the suffering brought upon Jews through pogroms, poverty and victimization. Horowitz also defends Jabotinsky against accusations that he was too ambitious, a fascist and a militarist. As Horowitz delves into the years that shaped Jabotinsky's social, political and cultural orientation, an intriguing psychological portrait emerges. |
