Overview

A provocative history of life in Palestine during the three strife-torn decades when Britain ruled and the seeds of today¹s conflicts were sown. Segev explores the dramatic period before the creation of the state of Israel, when Britain ruled over ³one Palestine, complete² and when its promise to both Jews and Arabs that they would inherit the land set in motion the conflict that haunts the region to this day. Reconstructs in vivid detail the tumultuous era (1917-1948) of limitless possibilities and tragic missteps. He introduces the legendary figures -- Gen. Allenby, Lawrence of Arabia, King Faisal, Chaim Weizmann, David Ben-Gurion -- as well as an array of pioneers, adventurers, agents, diplomats, and fanatics. B&W photos.
