Sweeping and often illuminating
*New Statesman*
A seminal book - extremely challenging. The historical and
political implications of the 'Mayer thesis' will be widely
discussed in years to come - certainly not only by specialists
*for The Persistence of the Old Regime*
As fresh, challenging and thought-provoking in its
conceptualization as it is thoroughly researched and brilliantly,
stylishly and above all sensitively written. A masterly study
*for Why Did the Heavens Not Darken?*
Impressively measured, frank and thoughtful
*Times Literary Supplement [for The Furies]*
In Plowshares Into Swords, Arno Mayer gives a sweeping and often
illuminating overview of the story of Zionism.
*Geoffrey Wheatcroft*
