Description

This scholarly work examines how political power shaped Israeli military commemoration during the War of Independence. The book reveals how the dominant Mapai party under Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion selectively honoured fallen soldiers and bereaved families whilst systematically excluding those affiliated with rival political factions, particularly the Herut party led by Menachem Begin. Through analysis of legislation and cultural policy, the author demonstrates how Hagana members-aligned with Mapai's ideological position-were elevated in public memory as the primary architects of Israeli independence, marginalising contributions from competing underground movements. This critical examination of historical memory, political ideology, and state-building shows how governments construct national narratives to consolidate power and legitimacy. Published by Routledge, the book contributes to understanding how political conflicts continue shaping historical memory and military commemoration long after independence.
