Horowitz provides a very readable and comprehensive account of the evolution of Jabotinsky's views. As an accomplished and well-recognized scholar of Russian literature and cultural life, he also consistently and with great profit to his argument, elucidates the main features of the Russian environment in which Jabotinsky functioned, first in Russia and then in exile.

This is a well-researched, convincing political biography of one of the central figures in the history of Zionism and modern Jewish politics. The author carefully traces Jabotinsky’s intellectual and political developments from his youthful flirtations with Jewish politics in the Russian empire to his position as a burgeoning leader of Zionist opposition immediately after World War I. The book is based on a wide range of Russian-language materials and archival sources that help to bring Jabotinsky’s early years to light.
