This book provides an important shift in the analysis of Britain's
policy towards the illegal pot-war Jewish immigration into
Palestine. It charts the development of Britain's response to
Zionist immigration, from the initial sympathy, as embodied in the
Balfour Declaration, through attempts at blockade, refoulement and
finally disengagement.
The book exposes differences in policy pursued by the great
departments of state like the Foreign, Colonial and War Offices and
their legal advisors, and those implemented by the Admiralty. The
book argues that the eventual failure of Britain's immigration
policy was inevitable in view of the hostility shown by many
European nations, and American, towards Britain's ambition to
retain her position in the Middle East.
