Description
The untold story of Britain's role in the Israel-Palestine conflict is revealed in this meticulously researched book. During the First World War, a secret agreement was reached between the British High Commissioner in Egypt and the Sharif of Mecca, paving the way for an independent Arab state that included Palestine. However, the British government broke its promise, declaring Palestine to be for the global Jewish community instead.
Through a detailed analysis of official records and private papers, Peter Shambrook exposes the betrayal of the Arabs and debunks the myth that Palestine was never part of the lands guaranteed to the Sharif. He also reveals the attempts of successive British governments to prevent the truth from becoming public.
This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict, offering a fresh perspective on a complex and often overlooked period in history.
