The Threshold of Dissent: A History of American Jewish Critics of Zionism

"The world is a very confusing place right now – at least, that’s how it feels to me – so I’m always looking for books that can help me better understand where we are as a society and how we got here. The Threshold of Dissent is one of those books. In clear, careful language, the author illustrates some of the major moments over the past century that have shaped Jewish beliefs about Zionism, anti-Zionism and non-Zionism. It’s a history told with both rigor and compassion – two qualities that seem especially essential when embarking in conversation on such a fraught and contentious subject."
