This is a highly contentious topic, as you know. A book (and quite a big one at that) friendly to Israel is Howard Morley Sachar’s A History of Israel: From the Rise of Zionism to Our Time. A more critical study is John Quigley’s book The Case for Palestine.
Also very useful, though you’ll have to get it through bookfinder.com, is Donald Neff’s Fallen Pillars: U.S. Policy Towards Palestine and Israel Since 1945.
