The author received his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and was the editor of the Journal of International Affairs. Drawing extensively on previously unavailable documents of the British government as well as private papers and memoirs, the author uses the Cairo Conference as the focal point for a detailed study of Britain's involvement in Middle Eastern affairs. After tracing the background that led to the conference, Aaron Klieman describes and analyzes the deliberations themselves, and assesses the effect of the decisions taken on Iraq, Palestine, Jordan, and Arabia. He demonstrates that many of the contemporary problems of the Middle East--political instability, disillusion with democratic institutions, inter-Arab rivalry, the Arab-Israeli conflict--originated in this earlier, decisive period.

The Last Escape; The Launching of the Largest Secret Rescue Movement of All Time
Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1973. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. Hardcover. ix, [1], 518 pages. DJ has price present. DJ has some wear, soiling,and edge tears. Excerpt from KIRKUS REVIEW: Maybe not the largest, maybe not the most secret, but ... the most exciting -- at least as recollected by Ruth Kluger about her operations with the Mossad in World War II. That was a group of ten secret individuals (nine men and a woman) who tried to smuggle Jews out of Europe into Palestine as Hitler was making his final decision between deportation and incineration -- and every country in the world ""regretfully"" barred its doors. Unbelievable obstacles -- finding ship owners willing to lease vessels at premium in wartime; calming down passengers confined shipboard, endless baksheesh (bribes) to border officials, stationmasters, harbormasters, embassies (for phony transit or entry visas); evading British ships and border patrols which sent illegal immigrants (only 10,000 legal per year) back to where they came or, at best, to some Palestinian prison; and finally, money from rich Jews unwilling to believe their civilized world was collapsing all around them. This is truly a tragic, story no one, Jews, gypsies, or the great untouched, should ever forget. More

Index. One of the Tauber Institute for the Study of European Jewry series. Some half a million Jews lived in Germany when Hitler came to power in 1933. Over the next decade, thousands would flee. Among these refugees, teens and young adults formed a remarkable generation. Born between 1914 and 1928 (approximately), they were old enough to appreciate the loss of their homeland and the experience of flight, but often young and flexible enough to survive and even flourish in new environments. Many would go on to make great contributions to their new countries and to the world. More
