Issued immediately following the broadcast of the totemic Balfour Declaration, this modest-looking pamphlet is of great importance. It essentially represents the founding working document of the nascent Zionist Organization in its representation to the world. It lays out the fundamental principles upon which the Zionist Movement is to operate under, leading toward the founding of a Jewish State in Palestine.
