Biale, David Power and Powerlessness in Jewish History
New York Schocken Books 1986 0805240152 / 9780805240153 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Xii, 244 pages, cloth, DJ, very good. From Publishers Weekly: "To shed light on the tensions he observed between Jewish perceptions of power versus political realities which "are often the cause of misguided political decisions, '' like Israel's Lebanese War Biale analyzes Jewish history from the point of view of politics and power. The author of Gershom Scholem: Kabbalah and Counter-History here challenges the conventions of what he terms the Jewish ``mythical past'': the anachronistic interpretation that the Diaspora, which occurred between the fall of an independent Jewish commonwealth in A. D. 70 and the rebirth of the State of Israel in 1948, was politically impotent, and, conversely, that the First and Second Temple periods were eras of full Jewish national sovereignty. His succinct, thoroughly researched, insightful arguments such as his thesis that the Hasmonean Revolt was neither a primarily religious nor a nationalistic resistance to the Greeks but an internal Jewish struggle for control of the high priesthood are sure to spark controversy. " NR85 ; 244 pages
