This book provides in-depth investigation into the secret of Theodor Herzl's success in changing the fate of the Jewish People. More than a biography, the book delves deep into Herzl's personality and physique, which left a deep impression on his followers and opposers alike. The book traces Herzl's transformation from a newspaper editor and playwright into a man of vision and action, the star in a drama he could never write for the stage.
Mordechai (Motti) Friedman, former Academic Director of the Zionist Archives in Jerusalem, Israel.
»Theodor Herzl's Zionist Journey stands out from the crowded field of studies of Theodor Herzl. Motti Friedman has brought to light abundant new material regarding Herzl's life and how Herzl transformed the Zionist movement from an ember into a flame. Although centred around one man, this book is an important contribution to the early history of Zionism as a whole.« - Derek Penslar, William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History, Harvard University
