This was the time of the British Mandate, when Britain's promise to both Jews and Arabs that they would inherit the land, set in motion the conflict that haunts the region to this day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on untapped archival materials, Tom Segev reconstructs an era (1917 to 1948) of limitless possibilities and tragic missteps. He introduces an array unforgettable characters, tracks the steady advance of Jews and Arabs toward confrontation, and puts forth a radical new argument: that the British, far from being pro-Arab, consistently favored the Zionist position, out of the mistaken--and anti-Semitic--belief that Jews turned the wheels of history. Rich in historical detail, sensitive to all perspectives, \u003ci\u003eOne Palestine, Complete \u003c\/i\u003ebrilliantly depicts the decline of an empire, the birth of one nation, and the tragedy of another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Segev\u003c\/b\u003e is a columnist for \u003ci\u003eHa'aretz\u003c\/i\u003e, Israel's leading newspaper, and author of three works on the history of Israel, \u003ci\u003e1949: The First Israelis, The Seventh Million: The Israelis and the Holocaust, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eOne Palestine, Complete: Jews and Arabs under the British Mandate.\u003c\/i\u003e He lives in Jerusalem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Picador USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50611454640402,"sku":"9780805065879","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_b41877e2-920f-4f8f-af72-60c8ac752fdd.jpg?v=1732362018","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/one-palestine-complete-jews-and-arabs-under-the-british-mandate-9780805065879","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
