The publisher's original brown cloth boards remain firm and square, with the gilt titling to the spine remaining notably bright and unoxidised, showing only the faintest hint of shelf-wear to the spine tips. The binding is tight and structurally sound, with no rolling or leaning. Internally, the pages are crisp and entirely free of any previous ownership signatures or highlighting, though the text block edges display a touch of uniform, light age-toning standard for the paper stock of this era. The original dust jacket is remarkably well-preserved, remaining unclipped with the original UK price present on the front flap; it presents wonderfully in a protective sleeve, with only minor rubbing to the panels and negligible edge-wear at the extremities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThis represents the first UK edition of Shlomo Avineri’s seminal intellectual history, issued concurrently with the American edition by Basic Books.

Moving beyond standard political histories, Avineri examines the writings and ideological developments of foundational thinkers, from Moses Hess and Theodor Herzl to Vladimir Jabotinsky and David Ben-Gurion, demonstrating how a diverse array of secular, religious, socialist, and nationalist ideologies converged to revolutionise modern Jewish identity and culminate in the establishment of Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55641964609875,"sku":"6556","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261022_103950.jpg?v=1793178552","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-making-of-modern-zionism-shlomo-avineri-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
