The Forgotten Zionist The Life of Solomon (Sioma) Yankelevitch Jacobi

"A fascinating story of one man's impact on history" (Sir Martin Gilbert, historian; Honorary Fellow of Merton College, University of Oxford). Vladimir Jabotinsky and Sioma Jacobi exchanged more than five hundred letters between 1920 and 1939. Yet Jabotinsky's right-hand man, who ran the London Revisionist bureau from 1934 until his premature death at the age of forty-two, and who nearly single-handedly managed "illegal" immigration to Palestine, is virtually unknown. The Forgotten Zionist resurrects the legacy of a remarkable man and awards Solomon "Sioma" Jacobi his rightful place in Zionist history.
