Synopsis:
In From Herzl to Rabin, Amnon Rubinstein traces the history of the Israeli state and provides the reader with a fascinating study of Zionism. Moving deftly between the roles of objective historian and persuasive politician, Rubinstein uses his skills to show both the political and religious aspects of Zionism and the attacks on it by the haredim and Post- and anti-Zionists.
About the Author: Amnon Rubinstein's brilliant career spans more than a quarter of a century. In 1974, he founded and led the ""Shinui"" party, which became part of the Democratic Movement for Change (""Dash""). From 1977 to 1984, he served as a member of the Knesset (Israel's Parliament), and in 1984 was appointed Minister of Communications. From 1987 to 1992, he sat on the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, the House Committee, and was Chair of the Ethics Committee. During that time he initiated Israel's only legislation providing constitutional protection for Human Rights: Basic Law for Human Dignity and Liberty and Basic Law for Freedom of Occupation. In 1992, he served as both Minister of Energy and Minister of Science and Technology. From 1993 to 1996 he held the post of Minister of Education, Culture and Sports. He is currently a member of the Knesset and Chairman of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee. In earlier years, before Professor Rubinstein entered government service, he was Dean of the Tel Aviv Law School. He has also authored many articles and books, including The Zionist Dream Revisited (Schocken, New York, 1984) and The Constitutional Law of Israel, Fifth Edition (Schocken, Tel Aviv, 1997).
