The History of Zionism by Walter Laqueur
This text offers a definitive account of Zionism. The term "Zionism" was first coined at the end of the 19th century, but the idea long reflected the misery of Jewish existence in central and eastern Europe, and the longing for the ancient homeland. Updated, and with a new preface, Walter Laqueur's comprehensive history begins with a discussion of the background of Zionism since the French Revolution, covers the many decades of Zionist activities worldwide, and ends with the establishment of the state of Israel.
Muslim World Book Review: "Going into minute detail, the present book under review is endlessly fascinating, most instructive and enlightening, and is the best-written, most thoroughly researched and convincing presentation of the Zionist case the reviewer has thus far come across, It should be required reading for all Muslims who wish to understand in depth the tragedy of Palestine"
Walter Laqueur, one of the world's foremost historians, was born in Breslau in 1921. He divides his time between London, Israel and Washington, where he is a director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
