Summary
  • "Segev explores the dramatic period before the creation of the state, when Britain ruled over "one Palestine, complete" (as noted in the receipt signed by the high commissioner) 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.".
  • "Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and primary sources, Segev reconstructs in detail the tumultuous era (1917-1948) of limitless possibilities and tragic missteps."--BOOK JACKET.
