An insightful biography of Vladimir Jabotinsky, the most controversial and perhaps most fervent of all Zionist political figuresA wellwritten, passionate survey of Jabotinskys life and contributions to political Zionism.Jeffrey Veidlinger, Marginalia Blog, Los Angeles Review of BooksFor many, [this book] will open up a man and his ideas whose influence is still felt today and who had an important role in the ideological struggles that shaped the Zionist movement and the modern Jewish state.Chicago Jewish StarVladimir Jabotinsky (18801940) was a man of huge paradoxes and contradictions and has been the most misunderstood of all Zionist politiciansa firstrate novelist, a celebrated Russian journalist, and the founder of the branch of Zionism now headed by Benjamin Netanyahu. This biography, the first in English in nearly two decades, undertakes to answer central questions about Jabotinsky as a writer, a political thinker, and a leader. Hillel Halkin sets aside the stereotypes to which Jabotinsky has been reduced by his wouldbe followers and detractors alike.Halkin explains the importance of Odessa, Jabotinskys native city, in molding his character and outlook; discusses his novels and short stories, showing the sometimes hidden connections between them and Jabotinskys political thought, and studies a political career that ended in tragic failure. Halkin also addresses Jabotinskys position, unique among the great figures of Zionist history, as both a territorial maximalist and a principled believer in democracy. The author inquires why Jabotinsky was often accused of fascist tendencies though he abhorred authoritarian and totalitarian politics, and investigates the many opposed aspects of his personality and conduct while asking whether or not they had an ultimate coherence. Few figures in twentiethcentury Jewish life were quite so admired and loathed, and Halkins splendid, subtle book explores him with empathy and lucidity.
