Herzl, King of the Jews A Psychoanalytic Biography of Theodor Herzl

The life of Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), the founder of political Zionism, was brief, fascinating, dramatic and tragic. Herzl lived only 44 years, most of which he spent desperately trying to become a famous playwright; yet at the age of 35 he became obsessed with the Zionist Idea, and soon became the charismatic political leader of Zionist Jewry, revered and idolized by many, vilified and excommunicated by many others. IFalk, Avner is the author of 'Herzl, King of the Jews A Psychoanalytic Biography of Theodor Herzl' with ISBN 9780819189257 and ISBN 0819189251.
