Description

Originally published in 1896 as Der Judenstaat, The Jewish State has taken its place among the likes of The Communist Manifesto and Common Sense as polemic writings which have changed modern history.

Theodor Herzl's advocacy for a separate, independent Jewish state as a remedy for centuries of hostility and persecution served as the basis for modern Zionism. Although his vision would not be realised in his lifetime, it set the course for the creation of the Israel we know today.

This edition, based on the original translation to English by Sylvie D'Avigdor, includes an introduction by Alan Dershowitz, who is among Israel's most prominent and vocal defenders. The Harvard law professor, often described as Israel's lead lawyer in the court of public opinion, discusses The Jewish State's place in history and its impact today.
