'A Senseless, Squalid War' by Norman Rose
The troubles in Palestine between the end of the WW II and the declaration of the state of Israel on 14 May 1948 ruptured Middle Eastern history and left an indelible mark on the modern world. This title chronicles the period that led, for the Jews, to the establishment of their national homeland, and, for the Palestinians, to their Nakba.

All in all, a masterpiece" Wm Roger Louis, Editor in Chief of The Oxford History of the British Empire "Norman Rose's excellent new history of the Mandate of Palestine offers a detailed account of the final years of British rule...
