A radical reappraisal of two key figures in the history of the Israeli Right, this is the first book to explore in depth the development of military Zionism, and gives important insights into the political status of Israel today. Why did Israel shift from a state based on pioneering egalitarianism and making the desert bloom to one which is chiefly known for its military prowess? "The Triumph of Military Zionism" examines Israels shift to the right at the hands of Menachem Begin, the supposed disciple of Vladimir Jabotinsky. Shindlers book uses original research to challenge the conventional wisdom that Begin was the natural heir to Jabotinsky. He demonstrates through hitherto unpublished sources how Israel drifted away from Jabotinskys ideas towards a maximalist Zionism because Begins very selective interpretation of his mentors words did not reflect Jabotinskys intentions. This invaluable addition to the study of Israels political history will appeal to both Middle Eastern and military historians.
