To understand political Zionism, one must understand Talmudic / Rabbinic Judaism. But yes, I can recommend a few books that might me more exactly what you are looking for (they also are sitting on my bookshelf). Let me track down the links.

Thanks. Currently I think I can summarize the Zion concept as the idea that Jews should have a land they can call their own, interpreted in modern times to be a nation state.
That's one version of it, and the version used to cover for the nefarious version. But political zionism is a supremacist ideology and really has nothing at all to do with Judaism. Jews in Name Only. Its why the Orthodox Jews are so viciously opposed to it.
