Shlomo Sand

Shlomo Sand is an Israeli historian and professor emeritus at Tel Aviv University whose provocative, controversial books have challenged conventional narratives of Jewish and Israeli history. A Brief Global History of the Left traces the history of left-wing political thought and movements from the French Revolution to the present day, examining how progressive ideas have evolved, triumphed, and faltered across different countries and eras. Sand brings his characteristic intellectual boldness and historical scope to a subject of enormous contemporary relevance. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a sweeping, provocative intellectual history. Sand's work appeals to readers interested in political history, ideology, and the ongoing question of what the left has been, is, and might become.
