Twenty-five years later, the editor of Herut wrote, \"I feel the emotional need to resurrect the memory of the man to whom many of us owe our lives. The younger generation have never heard his name; among the older generation only a few know of him. Yet, as the Betar website said in its tribute to Jacobi, he was \"the person responsible for Aliyah Bet on behalf of the Betar directorate.... He was the living force of the enterprise.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Who was this man, of whom Vladimir Jabotinsky wrote upon Jacobi's sudden death, \"I confess I feel pretty helpless. Nothing done since 1931 was done without him\"? Jabotinsky and Jacobi exchanged more than five hundred letters between 1920 and 1939. Yet Jabotinsky's right-hand man, who ran the London Revisionist bureau from 1934 until his death, has been largely left out of the two major biographies of Jabotinsky and is virtually unknown. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Forgotten Zionist resurrects the legacy of a remarkable man and awards Solomon \"Sioma\" Jacobi his rightful place in Zionist history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodney Benjaimin,David Cebon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 965229571X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789652295712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gefen Publishing House, Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.75h x 7.06w x 0.90d","brand":"Rodney Benjaimin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799203295487,"sku":"9789652295712","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-forgotten-zionist-rodney-benjaimin-9789652295712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
