Britain in Palestine: The Story of British Rule in Palestine 1917-1948

I strongly recommend this brief and concise introductory book for anyone interested in the Mandate period and everyone studying the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Excellent background to a troubling history.

Clear, well illustrated, most useful: a helpful companion to the exhibition of the same name. The quotes from people who remember the British Mandate in Palestine are particularly insightful and poignant

I've almost finished this. Really enlightening, especially as I had an uncle who served in the Palestine Police.A very helpful and clear background to the British Mandate and reasons for all the Middle East troubles today.

An excellent, concise and very well researched book which sensibly includes interviews with a Palestinian and a Jewish immigrant who lived through the years of the British mandate
