ITEM OVERVIEW
A controversial account of Jewish history, which argues that the theological justifications for the State of Israel are bogus. Introduction by the irrepressible Gore Vidal. Shahak was a remarkable man. Born in the Warsaw ghetto and a survivor of Belsen, he arrived in Palestine in 1945. He lived in Jerusalem for 40 years, here he argued that the roots of Jewish chauvinism and religious fanaticism must be understood before it is too late.
