A History of Zionism: From the French Revolution to the Establishment of the State of Israel

A History of Zionism: From the French Revolution to the Establishment of the State of Israel by Laqueur, Walter. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781567311006.

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 Laqueurs 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.
