This is the controversial history of the British government's
involvement in the Zionist project, from the Balfour Declaration in
1917 to the present day. Written by the British Foreign Secretary
Arthur James Balfour, the Declaration stated '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.' Its
impact on history has been immense and still reverberates a century
later, starting what has been referred to as a hundred years of war
against the Palestinian people. This history focuses on the
devastating events which resulted from the Declaration, such as the
Arab Revolt, the Nakba and establishment of the state, the 1956 and
1967 wars, the Cold War and the Oslo period. It also shines a light
on controversial figures such as Tony Blair. In doing so, Balfour's
Shadow provides a fascinating take on this much-contested,
important history.
