Philadelphia, PA: Lippincott, c1978. First Printing. Hardcover. 24 cm, 364 pages. Illustrations. Name in ink on flyleaf. Card "With the compliments of the author" laid in. The focus is on British chicanery in this dramatic study of the Jewish struggle for a national home in Palestine. Following an introduction expressing the Jewish claim to the disputed area, Oxford historian Gilbert, further pursues the theme of British appeasement during the inter-war years--appeasement this time of their numerous Muslim colonial subjects vis-a -vis the Jews. Requiring Jewish assistance against Germany in the First World War and sympathetic to the Jewish need for a haven from persecution, the British in 1917 issued the Balfour Declaration. But the exigencies of postwar foreign policy required the gradual retraction of the promise, first by limiting Jewish immigration and Arab land sales in Palestine, then by attempting to create a permanent Jewish minority in an Arab-controlled country--until, in futility, they unloaded the problem on the UN. The scene deftly shifts from Palestine to England and back, laying bare--in documentary form--interactions between the British and the Zionists, officials in London and locals on the scene. Excerpted from newly-available British archives, diaries, and memoirs as well as from well-known secondary works, the first-person selections are/ skillfully linked with connective narrative. Though scholars will have some difficulty in identifying specific sources, Gilbert's technique of letting the participants tell their story makes for a vivid, authentic record. More

Preface by Ellen Palestrant. Foreword by Rabbi David Rebibo. Inscribed in English on back fep. Book is to be read "back to front'. "Years of study, research, questioning, challenging, and thoughtful contemplation, have yielded a comprehensive work of clarity and beauty. Her precise choice of words and imagery weave centuries of knowledge into a symbolic tapestry, where insights, traditionally glimpsed by only the most ardent scholars, become accessible and clear to all." -Rabbi David Rebibo. "My work is contemporary, yet has been influenced by Persian miniatures, castle tapestries, Paul Klee, and folk art thrown into the mix. Whatever my work is called, it is meant to be enjoyed. I encourage viewers to "sail away to ports far-away"; to dream, hear songs, make up stories and poems; to be joyful, climb up and down the mountains, join the processions, smell the flowers, enter the castles and to experience imaginary landscapes." -Jill D Glenn.

In 1939 Glubb succeeded Frederick G. Peake as the commander of the Arab Legion (subsequently known as the Jordan Royal Army). He transformed the Legion into the best-trained force in the Arab world. During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War the Arab Legion was considered the strongest Arab army involved in the war. Glubb led the Arab Legion across the River Jordan to occupy the West Bank (May 1948). Despite some negotiation and understanding between the Jewish Agency and King Abdullah, severe fighting took place in Kfar Etzion (May 1948), Jerusalem and Latrun (May–July 1948). More

He and his wife Eleanor Glueck collaborated extensively on research related to juvenile delinquency and developed the "Social Prediction Tables" model for predicting the likelihood of delinquent behavior in youth. They were the first criminologists to perform studies of chronic juvenile offenders and among the first to examine the effects of psychopathy among the more serious delinquents. During the aftermath of the Holocaust he was one of the leading advocates for the creation of an international criminal court to punish crimes against humanity. More
