Herzl's Zionism in BriefBy Will JeromA document of historical interest and significance; Herzl's Jewish State argues that Jews will never be fully accepted as a minority in any country; and that therefore they must form a separate state. He proceeds to outline in bold; imaginative terms; just how that might be possible. His assumptions are that there will be a great deal more cooperation and solidarity with the Jewish State than was actually the case. Though he calls on religious themes of the "Promised Land"; he assures that there will be a secular state. If you are interested in the genesis of Zionism; then you must read this at some point. This particular copy was laden with sloppy typos; and had just the bare bones text; no introduction or context is provided. You may wish to find a better publisher; though this text itself is workable at least.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. a work of inspirationBy Robert W. SmithDr. Herzl writes in "The Jewish State" to the Jewish people and others on how to obtain a Jewish state and how to implement the tactics and strategies to obtain that independent state. Although brilliant and it is cited throughout the literature as a cornerstone of all such works; it is; nevertheless; filled with; well; limitations; Herzl nowhere in his writing discusses the difficulties imposed by founding a nation (palestine) in which natives (palestinians) already reside. relations with the muslim nations and its eventual role as broker between russia and the united state are also not discussed; although; in all fairness; this could not be seen. Reading this after the Armenian genocide and the Holocaust provides the reader with tremendous insights into his arguments and the passions of his arguments. Again; the tactics that he proposed were those of a man fully devoted to an issue but who didn't have a complete grasp of all of the issues. Brilliant work by a man who sacrificed so much for the realization of an Israeli state. I highly recommend your reviewing this seminal work - I bought it on Kindle for 99 cents. I wouldn't recommend buying it at $80 - read it at a public library. I give this an A-!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great read!By CiceroJust as stated:Great read!
