"His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object."This is the infamous Balfour Declaration, which began one hundred years of conflict with the Palestinian people. In the controversial, fast-paced Balfour's Shadow, David Cronin traces the story of the rhetorical and practical assistance that Britain has given to the Zionist movement and the state of Israel since that day. Penned in 1917 by British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour, these words had an immense impact on history that still emanates a century later.
Cronin focuses on important historical events such as the Arab Revolt, Skillfully and engagingly written, Balfour's Shadow uses previously unreleased sources and archives to reveal a new side to an old story.
