Description

Released in London in 1917, the Balfour Declaration was among the important documents of the twentieth-century. It determined Britain to helping the establishment in Palestine of “a National Home for the Jewish people,” and its reverberations continue being felt even today. Today the whole intriguing tale of the doc is unveiled within this remarkable work of contemporary history.With new content gathered from historic records, student Jonathan Schneer recounts in remarkable detail the general public and personal battles in the first 1900s for a little strip of territory in the centre East, battles that began once the ruling Ottoman Empire required Germany’s aspect in World-War I. The Balfour Report offers an indelible image of how Arab nationalists, supported by Britain, struggled for their potential as Zionists in England struggled diplomatically for impact.
