Reviews
"A timely and concise exploration of one of the most contentious issues of our time.Cohn-Sherbok provides a history and current mapping of Zionism so important to a rational discussion of a movement that has been glorified and demeaned, often without the broad and intelligent arc necessary for discernment.Introduction to Zionism is an easy to read and methodical guide to Zionism.Let the discussion begin again, informed by this book." -- Marc H. Ellis, University Professor of Jewish Studies and Professor of History, Baylor University , USA
"Well-balanced and accurate, this is an excellent guide to the ideology and history of Zionism and the role it has played in modern Israel. It will surely be the standard teaching text on the topic for some time. Cohn-Sherbok demonstrates throughout an enviable objectivity and clarity." -- Oliver Leaman, Zantker Professor of Judaic Studies, University of Kentucky, USA
