“None of the other published material on this topic has canvassed and assessed as widely as Alan Dowty has done in this work. This is an original narrative and a compellingly told story.”
— Donna Robinson Divine, author of Exiled in the Homeland: Zionism and the Return to Mandate Palestine
“A well-written, well-balanced book that takes account of both Jewish and Arab attitudes toward Jewish settlement in Palestine prior to the First World War.”
