Although written in 1965, this searing indictment of Zionism is as relevant today as it was when first published. It’s an astonishing polemic and considered the first revisionist history of Jewish nationalism and Zionism. Moshe Menuhin was born in Belarus into an Orthodox Jewish family in 1893 and moved to Palestine when he was 11. He died in 1983 and was a committed anti-Zionist throughout his life. He was also a proud Jew and this makes his book controversial in the extreme. I found it an exhilarating read which still deserves a wide readership as the points he makes are as pertinent as ever. Wide-ranging in its scope and continually thought-provoking, his passionate beliefs and opinions come through loud and clear on every page. A new 2017 introduction puts the book into its historical context. For anyone troubled by the Israeli/Palestinian problem, the book explores the origins of the conflict and Menuhin's anger will surely strike a chord in many readers.
