This and the Levdermilk?? book - PALESTINE: LAND OF PROMISE (Harper) together gave me the feeling of, at last, having some comprehension of the problems of modern Palestine. They supplement each other - and should create each a sale for the other. The samuel?? book in a history of the Zionist?? movement, deeply rooted in the Jewish character and emotions and background. It is a book inspired by not a proselyti??ing zeal, but a deep conviction that Palestine, the Jewish homeland, should be the focus of the race, though by no possibility, the home for all Jews, only for those in need of a home. In their need - and through their sense of the homeland comes the fire that has made the restoration of the desert, the reaping of the harvest possible. The slow growth of the movement - the hurdles it has had to take - the heroes and leaders - the aspects of modern development, politically, economically, agriculturally, artistically, socially, industrially - and the contribution to the war today, all form part of the story. Part, too??, is the relation with the Arabs, the artificially stimulated revolts, the Jewish response?? - and the attitude of the world, in itself the biggest problem to meet. A revealing book.
