Book Synopsis

Until now, the history of the German Zionist movement after the first World War and its role in the development of the world Zionist movement has been virtually ignored. Before Catstrophe reveals the social and political background of German Zionism, the building of a national home in Palestine, the arena of World-Zionist politics, and the face of the Arab-Jewish conflict.
