"This book recreates British rule in Palestine from the winter of 1917 - when battle-scarred troops in flimsy desert gear clambered through mountain chill and mists of Jerusalem - to the spring of 1948 and the last High Commissioner's apologetic departure. Between these dates, the Jewish minority turned political weakness into strength, and the Palestine Arabs headed for disaster.
How this happened under British administration is the subject of this richly documented account, based on public and private papers, memoirs, and interviews - many never previously published."--BOOK JACKET.
