Rezensionen

"Carlo Aldrovandi's contribution to the comparative study of Israeli religious Zionism and US evangelical Zionism is substantial. His solid research sheds new lights on the dialectics between messianic expectations, millenarian tensions and militant mobilization. He helps us understand the paradox of "absolute politics", when non-Jewish Zionism can become more radical than the Jewish one"
