"""Mihaely's work on Arendt's late thought touches on the most important issues Arendt deals with, such as power, violence, obedience, the 'political, ' and revolution. . . . The book is groundbreaking in its field and in its descent from the academic ivory tower, placing Arendt's questions and concepts in the context of contemporary life in Israel today."" --Yoav Ashkenazy, Hartman Institute ""Mihaely analyzes Arendt's late thoughts against the backdrop of recent anti-Netanyahu protests in Israel. . . . Beyond this specific context, Mihaely's analysis demonstrates the relevance of Arendt's political theory to understanding current processes in Western democracies, including growing public distrust in their representatives and false discourse of politicians that destroys the citizens' faculties of judgment between facts and illusion."" --Rony Klein, University of Tel Aviv ""Hannah Arendt and the Crisis of Israeli Democracy is welcome and timely today when violence is so often mistaken for power. One is immediately struck by Zohar Mihaely's sure grasp of Hannah Arendt's unusual distinction of political power from any and all means of violence. This is the book I have been waiting years to read."" --Jerome Kohn, trustee, Hannah Arendt Bluecher Literary Trust"
