"'One of the most illuminating books in its field for years' - Geoffrey Wheatcroft, Times Literary Supplement 'Thorough and provoking. 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' - Ahron Bregman, Jewish Chronicle"
