Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket - paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A provocative work of political commentary, How Israel Lost Its Soul presents a critical and unflinching examination of Israeli society, politics, and the moral contradictions embedded in the Zionist project. Written by Maxim Ghilan — a dissident Israeli journalist and poet — the book argues that the founding ideals of the Israeli state were steadily eroded by militarism, occupation, and political expediency. With the authority of an insider and the clarity of a committed humanist, Ghilan details the tensions between democratic aspirations and the realities of occupation, drawing sharp parallels between colonialism and Israeli governance over Palestinian territories. Polemical yet deeply reasoned, this work remains a significant and controversial document in the literature of Middle Eastern politics, challenging readers to confront uncomfortable truths about power, identity, and justice.
