Jonathan Schneer - The Balfour Declaration: The Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict
The Balfour Declaration is the key action in history that committed Great Britain to support "a National Home for the Jewish People" in Palestine. Issued on this very date in 1917, this Declaration still reverberates today. With new material retrieved from historical archives, scholar Jonathan Schneer, a specialist in modern British history, details the public and private battles and discusses the repercussions of this declaration to many countries and, of course, Israel. We learn of the generals and prime ministers, soldiers and negotiators, who shed blood and cut deals to grab or give away the precious land, providing a riveting volume about the ancient faiths and timeless treacheries that continue to drive global events today.
