Originally published in 1961, this book provides a clear authoritative work of reference, surveying not only constitutional form, but also actual political practice. The author deals in turn with the Knesset, the political parties and the electoral system, Cabinet, Presidents and Judiciary, the basis of citizenship and civil rights, the administrative structure, local government and foreign policy. The book also emphasizes the precarious balance of the new state of Israel in which immigrants exceeded the original population.
Oscar Kraines, a leading American authority on public law, was Professor of Law at New York University for many years, and at various times, Fiscal Administrator in the U. S. War Department, and Administrator of the Judicial Conference in New York State.
