"In this stimulating and provocative book, Fredrik Meiton provides a new explanation for the success of Zionism and the failure of Arab resistance in Mandate Palestine. His demonstrations of the symbiosis between colonial politics and technology sharpens our understanding of not only Israel and Palestine but also postcolonial states throughout the globe."—Derek J. Penslar, Harvard University
"Meiton shows that Zionism was far more than a political or national project, and that what he terms its 'technocapitalist underpinnings' were crucial to its conquest of the country and dispossession of the Palestinians. This is a shrewd, erudite study that enriches our understanding of a crucial element in the struggle over Palestine."—Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies, Columbia University, and author of The Hundred Years' War on Palestine
"Meiton provides an electrifying tour through the process of state-building that turned Palestine into Israel. This is a critical book for anyone interested in Palestine or Israel today, as well as for those interested in the global politics of technology and capitalism or imperialism and the modern state."— Marwa Elshakry, author of Reading Darwin in Arabic
