Description
The Reckoning: Death and Intrigue in the Promised Land by Patrick Bishop In February 1942, a dramatic confrontation took place in Tel-Aviv that would have far-reaching consequences. Avraham Stern, a militant Zionist, was shot dead in a flat on a cold morning. The killer, Assistant Superintendent Geoffrey Morton, claimed Stern was trying to escape. However, witnesses disputed this account, suggesting Stern's execution was a calculated act of violence. Stern was no ordinary criminal. He had orchestrated terrorist attacks targeting policemen and was on the run from Morton, a British colonial policeman tasked with capturing him. Their fateful meeting sparked a cult of martyrdom that would fuel enmities between Jews, Britons, and Arabs in the future. This book tells the story of Stern, Morton, and the events leading to their tragic encounter. The Reckoning is a gripping account of two men from different worlds, locked in a deadly struggle that continues to shape the region's complex history.
