Hello comrades, I am looking to expand my knowledge of Zionism. I have realized that I understand what it is and how it has and continues to impact the world, but I lack a good understanding of most of the history and context of it.

Can anyone recommend some good reading on the formation of Zionism and how it came to be realized in the form of "Israel" ?

I'd recommend The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi. It is a great book for understanding the historical context behind zionism. As the title suggests, it goes back a hundred years and describes all the events that made zionism possible.
