Publisher's Synopsis
Much has been written about the Second World War, the age of the dictators, and the Holocaust, but this is the first book to relate the history of Zionism to these events and to show the interaction between Herzl's movement and the rise of Fascism and Nazism in Europe. In Zionism in the Age of the Dictators Lenni Brenner searches through the Zionist record -- and finds evidence that it sought the patronage and benevolence of the avowed anti-Semites and, ultimately, the collaboration of the Fascists and Nazis. In a carefully researched and closely reasoned work, Brenner shows how from the beginning Zionism's leaders were prepared to go to almost any length to achieve the goal of a separate Jewish homeland.
