Abstract

Richard Ned Lebow’s first publications already give away what he is really after. In 1968, he published “Woodrow Wilson and the Balfour Declaration” in the Journal of Modern History. The article deals with the question of how Wilson came to declare his sympathy for the Zionist movement in October 1917.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For more detail on this aspect in Lebow’s work, see Stein’s contribution in this volume (Chap. 4).

  2. 2.

    Most importantly, Lebow (2012) argues that we are mistaken to assume that identities always form in juxtaposition to a significant other.

  3. 3.

    Thinking in terms of scenarios re-appears frequently in his work, for instance in Lebow (2013).
