Rather than treating the work as a biography or a study of specific decisions, it analyzes Churchill’s worldview—linking his realpolitik focus on British power and security with a more romantic, historically informed interest in foreign affairs. The book traces key periods from the late 1890s through the mid-20th century.","churchill’s promised land  \nmichael mako v sky  \nChurchill’s Promised Land  \nzionism and statecraft  \na new republic book  \nyale university press new haven & london  \nCopyright © 2007 by Yale University.  \nAll rights reserved.  \nThis book may not be reproduced, in whole or in part, including illustrations, in any form (beyond that copying permitted by Sections 107 and 108 of the U.S. Copyright Law and except by reviewers for the public press), without written permission from the publishers.  \nSet in E & F Scala by Binghamton Valley Composition.  \nPrinted in the United States of America.  \nLibrary of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data  \nMakovsky, Michael, 1963–  \nChurchill’s promised land : Zionism and statecraft / Michael Makovsky.  \n[p. cm](p. cm).—(A New Republic book)  \nIncludes bibliographical references and index.  \nISBN 978-0-300-11609-0 (cloth : alk. paper)  \n1.

This is not another biography of Churchill or even a study of his diplomatic decision-making. Instead, it is an examination of how he thought, viewed, and approached a diplomatic subject that engaged him for much of his career, and what that signified about his worldview. The subject in question was not just any normal world issue but Zionism, a movement that emerged as a political cause in the late 1890s, just as Churchill began his political career.  \nChurchill is perhaps most famous nowadays, at least in the United States, for warning against the rise of Nazi Germany in the 1930s and the Soviet Union in the 1940s, and for leading Britain to victory in the Second World War. He is well known as a practitioner of realpolitik, and many leading theorists and practitioners of the realist foreign policy school, such as Hans Morgenthau and Henry Kissinger, have looked to Churchill as a model. Indeed, Churchill was fundamentally concerned with British power and security, and he advocated and pursued policies that enhanced them, based on his own historical study of earlier British and European statesmen. But he was a very complex person with varied interests, who also had a romantic approach to foreign affairs.
