History of Zionism, 1600-1918, Vol. 2 (of 2)

A comprehensive historical survey traces the evolution of the Jewish national movement across several centuries, concentrating on its manifestations in England and France while noting related efforts elsewhere. It combines chronological narrative with encyclopedic chapters, documentary appendices, portraits, and essays that illuminate literary, artistic, and diplomatic dimensions. The author draws on unpublished manuscripts, archives, and old prints to document political, social, and non-Jewish pro-Zionist activities and the movement's development through the outbreak and course of the Great War. Supplementary material includes wartime accounts up to the peace negotiations, a biographical sketch of notable figures, and an index of persons and subjects.
