Descripción:

Navy cloth gilt-titled to front and spine 16 x 25cm. xii, 404pp, complete with all 9 maps and a full page graph. Ex-library with institutional and "withdrawn" ink stamps in Hebrew script and reference numbers to the title page. Covers good with slight bowing to the boards. Interiors very good, lightly tanned. Maps neatly folded, with repair to no2. This detailed report addresses the disturbances of 1936 and events leading up to them, the operation of the Mandate, and the possibility of a lasting settlement. It found that conflicting British promises to Arabs and Jews during WW1 led to expectations on both sides. The present conflict has grown steadily more bitter and will intensify. Law and order could only be maintained in the present by "a rigorous system of repression". It identified Partition as the only plan offering "at least a chance of ultimate peace".
