Lucien Wolf è stato un giornalista e storico inglese profondamente impegnato nella difesa dei diritti degli ebrei. I suoi scritti si sono concentrati principalmente sugli affari esteri e sulla diplomazia, campo in cui si è affermato come esperto stimato. I pogrom antiebraici in Russia accesero la sua passione per le cause ebraiche, portandolo a diventare un critico schietto del regime zarista e un sostenitore della difficile situazione degli ebrei russi. Sebbene si opponesse al sionismo politico, fu fondamentale nel proporre il sostegno britannico per una patria ebraica in Palestina e in seguito sostenne l'autonomia culturale nazionale per le comunità ebraiche. Il suo coinvolgimento nella Conferenza di Pace di Parigi fu cruciale nella stesura di trattati per le minoranze volti a salvaguardare i diritti di diverse popolazioni.
