Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Among My Books Msokolow is a member of the Executive of the 0 Central Zionist Organization, and ranks with Dr. Weizmann as one of the political heads of the movement. Accordingly, the second large volume of the History of Zionism from his pen is to be received with respect and interest, like the document of a statesman on his own subject. It is a little unfortunate, therefore, that this is so distinctly a sui generis volume. It conforms to no known standard of bookmaking, neither the encyclopedic nor the narrative, to both of which its author affiliates it; and the first service which we shall render its readers is to explain what it contains. There are, first of all, Ixiv pages, numbered, for some reason, in Roman characters, of which pages xvii to xxxvi are devoted toM. Sokolow stribute to the late Sir Mark Sykes. Next, pages xxxvii to Ixiii contain five chapters, numbered, for some reason, xlix A toE, which bring the historical narrative of Vol. I. down to the date of the outbreak of the Great War. Next, pages 1 to 160 describe Zionism during the War, 1914-1918, and this section is really the body of the work of 550 pages. There follow on it 340 pages of Appendices, arranged in no kind of logical order, and dealing with topics as diverse as Matthew Arnold on Righteousness in the Old Testament, Disraeli and the Suez Canal, Isaac Vossius and Colonel Condor. This, presumably, is the encyclopedic portion, and, interesting as much of it is, it suffers from the want of alphabetical reference. At the close of these Appendices come 25 pages of Addenda to Vol. I., in the form of little excursuses, again very interesting to read, but somewhat irritating in their place. A catalogue raisonne of the Illustrations to the book, in unnecessarily large type, and a list of Books Consulted, in much History of Zionism, 1600-1918. By Nahum Sokolow. Vol. II.
