Prophecy and Politics: Socialism, Nationalism, and the Russian Jews, 1862-1917

In the period from 1881 to 1917 socialist movements flourished in every major centre of Russian Jewish life, but, despite common foundations, there was often profound and bitter disagreement between them. This book describes the formation and evolution of these movements, which were at once united by a powerful vision and sundered by the contradictions of practical politics.Frankel, Jonathan is the author of 'Prophecy and Politics: Socialism, Nationalism, and the Russian Jews, 1862-1917', published 1981 under ISBN 9780521230285 and ISBN 0521230284.
