Britain, Palestine and Empire: The Mandate Years

Herausgeber: Miller, Rory

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In 1948, British troops withdrew from the Palestinian lands, ending over 30 years of the British Mandate of Palestine. Taking a fresh look at the years of the British mandate; its politics, economics, and culture, this volume will be valuable not only to scholars of the British mandate, but also more broadly to those interested in imperial history and the history of the West's involvement in the Middle East.
