Abstract
A century of Zionist strivings to create a Jewish polity in Eretz-Israel and half a century of Israeli statehood have spawned a stratified historiography.1 The events, typically enough, were recorded in both real time and after the fact. The first instance produced a literature of memoirs and diaries; the second resulted in volumes of documentation and the development of research by both a founding generation and a generation of critics representing historiographic revisionism.
