WHAT WOULD HERZL THINK OF ISRAEL TODAY?
A Conversation with one of Israel's Founding Fathers on the 60th Anniversary of the State Take an imaginary journey back in time, over 100 years, to meet Theodor Herzl, the visionary Hungarian-born journalist and founder of Zionism. In HERZL'S JOURNEY Conversations with a Zionist Legend, the author and Herzl begin their journey discussing the impact of anti-Semitism in France, travel through Europe and arrive at a present-day destination where the author and Herzl discuss the plight of both Jewish and Palestinian refugees. The conversation and journey move backward and forward across time, and the author questions Herzl about his dream and if his vision has borne fruit in the Israel of today. Set against the tapestry of one of the most tragic and traumatic periods in Middle Eastern history, this book will fascinate those who support the ideals of Zionism, as well as those who oppose it, Jew and Arab alike, and those who look on as they witness the quest for peace in our time.
