Rodney Benjamin

A fascinating story of one man's impact on history (Sir Martin Gilbert, historian; Honorary Fellow of Merton College, University of Oxford). Vladimir Jabotinsky and Sioma Jacobi exchanged more than five hundred letters between 1920 and 1939. Yet Jabotinsky s right-hand man, who ran the London Revisionist bureau from 1934 until his premature death at the age of forty-two, and who nearly single-handedly managed illegal immigration to Palestine, is virtually unknown. This book resurrects the legacy of a remarkable man and awards Solomon Sioma Jacobi his rightful place in Zionist history.

"This is a fascinating story of one man's impact on history: S. Y. Jacobi commanded a Jewish self-defence unit in Odessa in 1917 1920, and was Vladimir Jabotinsky s right-hand man for twenty years. He travelled the world fund-raising for ORT, OSE and other Jewish charitable organisations, and helped coordinate the Aliyah Bet illegal emigration of young Jews into British Mandate Palestine in the late 1930s. An astonishing series of achievements, which show the power of individual action and commitment." -- Sir Martin Gilbert, historian; Honorary Fellow of Merton College, University of Oxford
"This is a fascinating and almost unknown story. The role of Solomon Jacobi in facilitating illegal emigration to Palestine in the late 1930s is very important and new. Congratulations on producing this very important work." -- Professor Antony Polonsky, Albert Abramson Professor of Holocaust Studies, Brandeis University
Interest in the Revisionist Zionist Movement increased after the election of Menachem Begin as Israels prime minister in 1977. The founder of the movement, Vladimir Jabotinsky, is well known, but his assistant, Solomon (Sioma) Jacobi is not. The two exchanged over five hundred letters between 1920 and 1939. Rodney Benjamin, Jacobis son-in-law, and his grandson, David Cebon, have remedied this situation with a biography based on those letters. This work is a welcome introduction to a leader who deserves more recognition. - Jewish Book Council July 2013
