Description

Great Britain ruled Palestine from 1917 to 1948. The British presence replaced 500 years of Turkish control and led to the State of Israel, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1998.

The British brought Palestine into the 20th century: when they arrived, the country lay in a Levantine nirvana; by the time they left, it had become the arena for one of the century's major international conflicts.

Among the personalities who shape this narrative are Lawrence of Arabia, Winston Churchill, the archaeologist Flinders Petrie, King Feisal, Chaim Weizmann, and David Ben Gurion.

One momentous consequence of these 30 years was that the Jewish population increased by a factor of ten.

One Palestine, Complete delves into this transformative period and reveals how these influential figures and events shaped modern history.

One Palestine, Complete by Tom Segev is described as a wonderfully readable and humane exploration of Palestine under British rule from 1917 to 1948. Critics highlight its detailed account of this critical historical period and Segev's objectivity in presenting the complex dynamics between Jews and Arabs. The book is noted for challenging the historical narrative by examining Britain's pro-Zionist actions despite its official stance, offering a dramatic and insightful look into the development of two irreconcilable nationalist movements.
