Gabriel Piterberg's fascinating new book, The Returns of Zionism (Verso), asks whether the ideology that changed the face of the Middle East was really as distinctive as it seemed. From his immense knowledge of Zionist texts - and the literary work of the Jewish settlement in Palestine - he traces the many shifts in Zionism from its origins up to the present day.
