520    "Milton Viorst examines the evolution of Zionism, from its
       roots by serving as a cultural refuge for Europe's Jews, 
       to the cover it provides today for Israel's exercise of 
       control over millions of Arabs in occupied territories. 
       Beginning with the shattering of the traditional Jewish 
       society during the Enlightenment, Viorst covers the recent
       history of the Jews, from the spread of Jewish 
       Emancipation during the French Revolution Era to the rise 
       of the exclusionary anti-Semitism that overwhelmed Europe 
       in the late nineteenth century. Viorst examines how 
       Zionism was born and follows its development through the 
       lives and ideas of its dominant leaders, who all held only
       one tenet in common: that Jews, for the first time in two 
       millennia, must determine their own destiny to save 
       themselves. But, in regards to creating a Jewish state 
       with a military that dominates the region, Viorst argues 
       that Israel has squandered the goodwill it enjoyed at its 
       founding, and thus the country has put its own future on 
       very uncertain footing. With the expertise and knowledge 
       garnered from decades of studying this contentious region,
       Milton Viorst deftly exposes the risks that Israel faces 
       today."--|cProvided by publisher.
