Zionism is an international political movement that was originally dedicated to the resettlement of Jewish people in the Promised Land, and is now synonymous with support for the modern state of Israel. This addition to the Short Histories of Big Ideas series looks at the controversial and topical notion of Zionism from a balanced viewpoint, concentrating on where it came from, how it accomplished its goals, and why it affected so many people.

Professor David Engel is Maurice Greenberg Professor of Holocaust Studies, Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies and Professor of History at the Skirball Dept of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at New York University. He is a Longman author (SSH: The Holocaust, 2000) and famous for his seminal work In the Shadow of Auschwitz (Uni North Carolina Press, 1987) and its sequel Facing a Holocaust (Uni North Carolina Press, 1993).
