summary

This pamphlet is an engaging, if somewhat one-sided retrospective of the thirty years of the British Mandate of Palestine. The final decision to abandon Palestine was "due to the efforts of terrorist gangs, supplemented by those of Haganah and assisted by members of the Jewish Agency" (p. 8)

pp. 11, (1). Slight tear on p.1. One punch hole, text unaffected. 8vo
