Reviews
There could not be a better or more authoritative book to emerge in this centenary year of the Balfour Declaration than Jonathan Immanuel’s extraordinarily scholarly yet highly readable analysis of how it came about. Connecting the Bible and Zionism with British thinkers and statesmen stretching back over centuries, Immanuel builds a truly compelling argument about British Zionism, both Jewish and non-Jewish, that will fascinate and convince. Far from being either cynical or miraculous, the genesis of the Declaration was logical and, as Immanuel categorically proves, steeped in the best motives and instincts of Britain’s long history. -- Andrew Roberts, King’s College, author of A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900 and Founder Member of the Friends of Israel Initiative This book makes the fascinating assertion that the restorationist tradition, if effaced, did continue through the 18th century and acts as a link between the earlier and later phases. In lucid writing, Immanuel traces the link between English Protestantism and Judaism back to the Reformation and Henry VIII seeking Old Testament/Jewish support for his divorce. The unfolding story of Puritanism and its links with Judaism from then on is convincingly laid out. There is much to be learnt about the main theme as it is cogently spelled out from the Reformation to Puritanism all the way through the 18th century. -- Munro Price, professor of European history at Bradford University, author of The Road to Apocalypse
