From Library Journal:
Beilin is a government insider who uses his inside knowledge to good effect. He has served in various appointed posts in the Israeli government and since 1988 has been a member of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. He is intrigued by the background and political development of Israeli government. Indeed, his book, ostensibly a history of Israel, is really a study of how the government truly works. He examines the rulers of Israel, devoting many pages to the various inside and outside pressure groups. Beilin also explores the Israel-Arab impasse. He notes how the overwhelming concern for security has absorbed energies that could better be used in confronting the many challenges facing Israel today. This readable study is recommended for libraries with strong history and political science collections.

Book Description Condition: Gut. First Edition. XI, 276 Seiten / p. Leicht berieben und bestoßen, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / Slightly rubbed and bumped, otherwise perfect condition - This book tells the story of Israel s development since its foundation, and of the central issues which have preoccupied it - as seen by someone who has observed Israel s government from both inside and outside. -- After a historical review of the Zionist movement, Yossi Beilin describes the economic and political milestones of the state of Israel, the structure of government, the separation of powers, and the changing agenda of politics. He examines the symbols, myths and taboos that make up the political culture of the country; the importance of the pioneer and the idea of sacrifice; the struggle to establish the Hebrew language; the huge shadow of national security and the Arab-Israeli conflict; the influence of the small ultra-religious parties. He looks at the contrast between the security, prosperity and prestige which Israel enjoyed between 1957 and 1967, and the intractable problems which followed Israel s overwhelming victory in the Six Day War. Finally he looks at the growing importance of political lobbies and pressure groups and the different elites -economic, political, military, cultural and rabbinical. -- This is an indispensable survey of one of the most extraordinary countries in the world.
