Discussion - Flaired Users Only What book to give a Zionist?

My cousin is a Zionist. He made Aliyah and has served in the IDF in Gaza and Lebanon. He was in the brigade that responded to Oct 7 and lost one of his best friends to a Hamas bullet that day. I've spoken with him and he's open to learning more. I'm looking for a book to give him which is a very GENTLE introduction to an alternative viewpoint from Zionism, something that won't scare him. Can anyone recommend something.

Ilan Pappé is an Israeli historian and political scientist and one of the most read Ant-Zionist authors here in Brazil, but I’m not sure how gentle his approach would feel for a former IDF soldier who is still a Zionist. One of his most introductory books is Ten Myths About Israel.
