Leading Jewish scholar Gil Troy is professor of history at McGill University in Montreal and a visiting scholar at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. Professor Troy's writings have appeared in The New York Times, The New Republic, and other major media outlets. His books include biographies of former President Ronald Reagan and former New York Senator Hillary Clinton. His latest book, The Zionist Ideas: Visions for the Jewish Homeland – Then, Now, Tomorrow, sheds light on the surprisingly diverse and shared visions for realizing Israel as a democratic Jewish state. Building on Arthur Hertzberg’s classic, The Zionist Idea, Troy explores the backstories, dreams, and legacies of more than 170 passionate Jewish visionaries from the 1800s to today.
