Major Farran's Hat by David Cesarani
Explores the reasons why Britain lost Palestine, why its counter-insurgency strategy collided with its diplomacy, and why the tactics of the security forces were ill-judged, poorly executed, and futile. This title draws on the declassified files of the Security Services to reveal the ambition of Jewish terrorist attacks on Britain in late 1940s.
