A major new history of the century-long debate over what a Jewish state should be

Many Zionists who advocated for the creation of a Jewish state envisioned a nation like any other. Yet for Israel''s founders, the nation that emerged against all odds in 1948 was anything but ordinary. Born from the ashes of genocide and a long history of suffering, Israel was conceived to be unique, a model society and the heart of a prosperous new Middle East. It is this paradox, says historian Michael Brenner-the Jewish people''s wish for a homeland both normal and exceptional-that shapes Israel''s ongoing struggle to define itself and secure a place among nations. In Search of Israel is a major new history of this struggle from the late nineteenth century to our time.
