A compelling narrative, lucidly written and rooted in extensive archival sources, explores the deadly clash of two rival nationalisms against the broader backdrop of rising antisemitism across Europe, the intervention of Arab states, and international réalpolitik. The various suggestions then advanced for resolving the Palestine dilemma, as well as the internal divisions which beset the two rivals for political independence, are also reviewed in these pages. The two volumes, one devoted to the years 1933-1936 and the second to the years 1937-1939, serve as a riveting prequel to Professor Penkower's Decision on Palestine Deferred: America, Britain and Wartime Diplomacy, 1939-1945.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57688193466741,"sku":"9781618113672","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57484268142965,"sku":"9781618113153","price":77.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781618113672_ee6ac0f1-0922-4b58-9c59-3cb15e825aaf.jpg?v=1792686111"},{"product_id":"israel-2","title":"Israel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this volume examine a few facets in the drama of how the beleaguered Jewish people, as a phoenix ascending of ancient legend, achieved national self-determination in the reborn State of Israel within three years of the end of World War II and of the Holocaust.
