{"product_id":"israels-leadership-jacob-abadi-9780313275159","title":"Israel's Leadership: From Utopia to Crisis","description":"This book analyzes Israel's leadership from the rise of the Zionist movement to the present. That leadership, Abadi holds, has been declining since David Ben Gurion, the founder and first prime minister of the state, retired from politics. Not only were the early leaders of Zionism more charismatic, the author argues, but later leaders have faced domestic and external constraints that tied their hands regarding the economy, the need to absorb immigrants, and the demand to expand and modernize the army. Contemporary leaders have proven to be unequal to the task of dealing with these problems. In addition, the book mentions the erosion of the Zionist dream and the inability of native-born Israelis to provide a new ideology. Abadi concludes with possible solutions and prospects for the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Abadi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313275157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313275159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.66h x 6.42w x 0.78d","brand":"Jacob Abadi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45180120826111,"sku":"9780313275159","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b02dcaa0-6e81-45d7-93da-c5bcf66bba4a.jpg?v=1712897534","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/israels-leadership-jacob-abadi-9780313275159","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
