Secrets of the Mummies by Harriet Griffey

Secrets of the Mummies by Harriet Griffey

This book presents a multidimensional case of international human rights in the immediate post World War I period, and the way complex refugee problems created by the war were often in direct competition with strategic interests and national sovereignty.

The case study is the clandestine immigration of Jewish refugees from Italy to Palestine in 1945-48, part of a conflict involving both strategic and humanitarian interests. The result was a clear subjection of human rights considerations to strategic and political interests.
