Synopsis: From the birth of the Zionist movement to the assassination of President Rabin in 1995, an elegant one-volume history of modern Israel examines the debates spawned by Jewish nationalism, including the question of the settlement of the West Bank.

Review: In The Controversy of Zion, Geoffrey Wheatcroft, a self-proclaimed agnostic, offers an unbiased analysis of the "Jewish Question." Wheatcroft covers everything from the various outbreaks of European anti-Semitism--including Hitler's Final Solution--to the accomplishments of liberated European Jews, the argument over forming a Jewish state, the countless Jews who immigrated to the United States, and the recent assassination of Yitzak Rabin. Combining factual information with colorful profiles and anecdotes, he examines the suffering, debates, ideas, and victories that have impacted Jewish culture.
