The Invention and Decline of Isræliness: State, Society, and the Military
"Like all of Baruch Kimmerling's work, this is a penetrating and provocative book. It offers a new paradigm for the current and future direction of Israeli society that will certainly become a central point of reference in the field. Kimmerling's explanation for the rise and fall of classic Labor Zionism is a seminal contribution to the ongoing debate over this central thread of the Israeli experience." - Alan Dowty, author of The Jewish State: A Century Later Anyone seriously interested in Israeli society should read this book." - Derek Penslar, author of Shylock's Children: Economics and Jewish Identity in Modern Europe"
