Professor Monty Noam Penkower explores developments in Palestine and in the Arab states, including how the Palestine quagmire became a pawn in inter-Arab feuds; British and American responses both official and public; the role of Holocaust survivors; the context of the Cold War; and the saga as it unfolded in the corridors of the United Nations.

This is a scholarly achievement many years in the making, as the depth of the author’s research and keen analysis clearly demonstrate.

Whilst the author’s intention is to contribute to historical knowledge about the Arab–Israeli conflict rather than to refute historical myths about it, his penetrating dissection of developments from 1945 through 1948 pertaining to this question most certainly accomplishes the latter task. … This two-volume set represents an exhaustive inquiry into how and why the Jewish state came into existence—an inquiry that is enthusiastically recommended for students of this period.” —David Rodman, \u003ci\u003eIsrael Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * Israel Affairs *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume 1: Rebellion Launched, 1945-1946\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 100,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTenuat HaMeri HaIvri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Black Sabbath” to the Hotel Royal Monceau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruman, Bevin, and the World Zionist Congress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359757762903,"sku":"9781618118738","price":89.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781618118738.jpg?v=1754125620","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/palestine-to-israel-mandate-to-state-1945-1948-volume-i-rebellion-launched-1945-1946-9781618118738","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
