Zionism, as it emerged in the late 19th century, called for a grand effort to create an independent, self-governing Jewish nation. By publicly raising the flag of autonomy, it was the Zionists, ultimately, who accomplished this truly revolutionary change, transforming the structure of Jewry, its condition among the nations, and the play of conflicting religious and secular beliefs.
Completing the most comprehensive and thorough examination to date of the rise and consolidation of this remarkable movement, David Vital's Zionism: The Crucial Phase is the third and final addition to the critically acclaimed history of Zionism. The first volume in the series, The Origins of Zionism covered the years from 1881 to 1897, and was followed by Zionism: The Formative Years which continued the history through 1906--winning both the 1983 Kenneth B. Smilen/Present Tense Literary Award and the Jewish Chronicle/Wingate Award. The final volume considers the critical period on the eve of World War I, when Zionist leadership was faltering, the promise it had held out to the crushed and impoverished Jews of Europe had drastically diminished, and it appeared as if the movement was already in decline. Studying the sources and consequences of this decline and the dramatic and unexpected wartime recovery, Crucial Phase dispels the myths and legends surrounding British policy on
Zionism under Lloyd George and Balfour and sheds light on the revolutionary nature of Zionism and its dedicated followers.

Industry Reviews

'a detailed study of the crucial years from 1907 to 1919' The Times Higher Education Supplement 'The same qualities which marked the earlier volumes are again in evidence here: judiciousness, lucidity, a mastery of the voluminous literature of the subject, and a sober prose style ... the outstanding virtues of this work, its thoughtfulness, its understanding of political processes, and its lack of sentimentality, make one hope that he might continue the account up to 1948' Times Literary Supplement 'David Vital's concluding - and pivotal- volume of his refreshing and superbly documented three-volume history of Zionism ... Vital shows, with masterly command of his sources, that the Zionists were treated as if they were themselves a great power with influence in every capital of Europe and in the United States.' Jewish Chronicle
