Why read it?

1 author picked Origins of Israeli Policy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a classic book. It explains Jewish life in Palestine that grew and developed as antisemitism grew in Europe to unprecedented heights. The pre-Israel state is called the Yishuv. Lissak, an Israel prize Laureate, and Horowitz who studied at my Oxford College, do a brilliant job in weaving together history, sociology, and political science to explain and narrate the challenges and achievements of Zionists in transforming the Yishuv into a functional state.

I have taught from this book. Moshe Lissak was a dear colleague and friend. We met at Oxford in 1991 and kept in touch almost up…
