In 1896, Jewish public figure Theodor Herzl published a political pamphlet calling for the creation of a new cultural center in Palestine. Thus, the Zionist movement was born. This book presents the astonishing and complex history of the modern State of Israel, stretching from the late 19th century to the early 21st century. Weaving together political, social, and cultural events in Palestine during the British presence, the author creates a vivid historical canvas. This narrative reflects all the key challenges of Israeli state-building, including mass immigration, changing cultural norms, warfare, diplomatic relations, and the creation of democratic institutions and civil society.

"The creation of the Jewish state was one of the extraordinary miracles of history." A diaspora nation that had no political traditions for centuries, had learned to survive in different climates and under different regimes, and had no organs of government of its own, was able in a very short time to lay the foundations for existence in a harsh country, far from economic centers, cultural and intellectual resources” (Anita Shapira).
