David Ben-Gurion and the Foundation of Israeli Democracy

"Though it will come as no surprise to anyone that David Ben-Gurion was the key figure in Israel's transition from yishuv to state, Nir Kedar's systematic analysis will probably emerge as the authoritative statement of that relationship. It is thorough, abundantly documented, and convincingly argued."

~Alan Dowty, University of Notre Dame

"David Ben-Gurion and the Foundation of Israeli Democracy is an outstanding work of scholarship. Deeply researched, clearly written, and persuasively argued, the book will make an important contribution to our understanding of the formation of Israeli democracy and the crucial role that Ben-Gurion played in this."

~Dov Waxman - University of California, Israel Studies Review
