Jabotinsky and the Revisionist Movement 1925-1948

By Yaacov Shavit Copyright 1988

    First published in 1988. The focus of this title, the nature and character of the Israeli political Right, gained intensive interest immediately after the Israeli elections of 1977. The author discusses this shift of political power from the Left to the Right as a profound political upheaval and discusses this alongside the prior Labour hegemony of the Yishuv. This book is separated into four parts: The territory and organisation of the right; The intellectual foundation of the right; Ideology, programme and political methods and Contradictory images.

    Jewish Chronicle- "The volume under review is probably the nearest we are likely to get for some years to a definitive history of the Revisionist movement...This is a new and unexpected ...superbly documented account of the Revisionists
