TALMON, JACOB L. Jacob L. Talmon: mission and testimony : political essays DAMAGED COPY. Foreword by Isaiah Berlin ; edited by David Ohana. Brighton ; Chicago: Sussex Academic Press, 2015, 1st printing number line ending in 1, xiii, 400pp., . "The historian Jacob L. Talmon (1916-1980) was chosen by an international committee of scholars as one of the major historians of the twentieth century. It declared that "his historiography was a convincing apologia for human freedom." Talmon owes his fame to his magnum opus, the trilogy that began with The Origins of Totalitarian Democracy (1952), continued with Political Messianism (1960) and concluded with The Myth of the Nation and the Vision of Revolution (1981). These works have been translated into many languages and have influenced many statesmen and intellectuals. Talmon's Mission and Testimony focuses on the destiny of the Jewish people and the State of Israel in the modern era. Part I, "The Nature of Jewish History", deals with the Jewish presence in history, the universal significance of Jewish history, and the impact of Jewish intellectuals. Part II, "From Anti-Semitism to the Holocaust", concerns the anti-Semitic climate of opinion that led to the Holocaust. Part III, "Israel between War and Peace", discusses the regional and global situation of the State of Israel. In Part IV, "Intellectual and Political Debates", Talmon confronts intellectuals and statesmen such as Arnold Toynbee and Menachem Begin. Part V, "Profiles in History", depicts the intellectual portraits of the historian Lewis Namier and the physicist and champion of human rights Andrei Sakharov. Isaiah Berlin, in his "Tribute to a Friend", wrote about Talmon - CONTENTS: Foreword: Isaiah Berlin - A Tribute to My Friend; Introduction: The Historian as an Intellectual - David Ohana; Jacob L.

thick heavy PAPERBACK, very good, attractive copy, appears unused but is slighlty creaky for no apparent reason. TALMON, J. L. Myth of the nation and vision of revolution: ideological polarization in the twentieth century. With a new introduction by Irving Louis Horowitz. New Brunswick, U.S.A.: Transaction Publishers, 2008, 3d printing, xxv, 632pp., . Cover design by Joseph J. Bertucci. Series: Social science classics series First published in 1980. - In what may well rank as the finest political and intellectual history of the twentieth century, the late J. L. Talmon explores the origins of the schism within European society between the totalitarians of Right and Left as well as the split between an acceptance of the historical national community as the natural political and social framework and the vision of a socialist society achieved by a universal revolutionary breakthrough. This, the third and final volume of Talmon's history of the modern world, brings to bear the resources of his incisive scholarship to examine the workings of the ironies of totalitarianism as well as the resources of democracy. - CONTENTS: Introduction to the Transaction edition - Preface - Introduction -- PART I.
