Vladimir Jabotinsky. Di Geshichte fun Yiddishen Legion.

Vladimir (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky (1880-1940), celebrated as the leader of the Revisionist Zionist movement, here recounts the events that led to the formation of the Jewish Legion, a Jewish fighting force attached to the British Army towards the end of World War I. This was widely viewed as an event of enormous historical significance, as Jews had not taken up arms in an organized fashion for numerous centuries.
