This books shows how today's problems in the Middle East are a direct consequence of events during the period between 1917 and 1948 when Britain ruled the land known as Palestine under a League of Nations Mandate. Karl Sabbagh describes the nature of that rule, the conflicting promises it was based on, and how the seeds of future conflict were planted by Britains's policy-makers. The book develops the narrative of the exhibition 'Britain in Palestine,' first mounted in London in 2012.
