In this compelling biography, award-winning historian and journalist James McAuley tells the story of a man who defied his elite world to support a radical cause: the creation of a Jewish homeland.   Drawing on rare access to archives-including Rothschild's own long-lost memoir-McAuley reveals how and why this reserved French aesthete became a driving force in the early Zionist settlement of Palestine. Rothschild's journey from the salons of Paris to the fields of Eretz Israel is a tale of emotional awakening, political conviction, and personal transformation-of a man's search for a cause and discovery of himself. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56367950987637,"sku":"9780300255201","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780300255201","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
