Beskrivning
'By some way the best history of the Mandate I have ever read, with the greatest scope, the widest research and the clearest moral sense' JOHN SIMPSONTom Segev's widely acclaimed work has changed the way we view the history of Israel. He discussed the three decades when Palestine was ruled by the British Empire; and Britain's promise to both Jews and Arabs that they would inherit the land.Segev reconstructs in vivid detail the tumultuous era when anything seemed possible and everything went awry. Here are the legendary figures - General Allenby, Lawrence of Arabia, King Faisal, Chaim Weizmann and David Ben-Gurion, all participants in a multicultural spectacle of revolution and decadence, prophecy and illusion. One Palestine, Complete is a stunning history of a dramatic period that witnessed the decline of an empire, the birth of one nation and the tragedy of another - published in 2025 with a new introduction by the author.'A full and fascinating account of the murky roots of British rule in Palestine' LITERARY REVIEW'Brilliantly written... wonderfully readable and humane' INDEPENDENT'A magisterial account... reaffirms Segev's reputation for courageous and intelligent honesty' SCOTSMAN
