Trade Review“The existing literature on Palestine under British rule largely omits what was done by the Arab public in Palestine to keep their state from being taken from them. Labeeb Bsoul gives a chilling account of the desperate resistance the Arabs of Palestine mounted against Britain in the 1920s and 1930s, and the lengths to which Britain went to put the Arabs down.”
