Download or read book Brother Against Brother written by Ehud Sprinzak and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking and controversial study of the rising tide of militancy in Israel, Ehud Sprinzak lays bare the historical roots of violence in Israeli domestic politics, examining the effects such militancy has had on the nation's civic culture. He traces the origins of the extremist thread to the era of the founding of the Jewish state, and shows how it has grown increasingly malignant in the past decade, culminating in the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER takes the reader through the critical turning points in Israeli political history and introduces us to the leaders whose careers were baptized by blood. Through his exploration of the disputes between David Ben-Gurion's Labour Movement and Menachem Begin's Irgun movement, Sprinzak argues that their legacy of conflict provided the inspiration for such agitators as Meir Kahane and the Orthodox radicals behind the Hebron massacre of 1994 and Rabin's assassination. Despite Sprinzak's disturbing accounts of violence, he remains optimistic that when peace between Israeli's and Arabs is reached and the great debate about borders of the nation is finally laid to rest, Israeli political violence will decline dramatically. BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER provides an incisive and extensively researched historical perspective on Israeli politics and opens a new chapter in our understanding of one of the world's most fascinating nations.
