In this complete military history of Britain's pacification of the
Arab revolt in Palestine, Matthew Hughes shows how the British Army
was so devastatingly effective against colonial rebellion. The Army
had a long tradition of pacification to draw upon to support
operations, underpinned by the creation of an emergency colonial
state in Palestine. After conquering Palestine in 1917, the British
established a civil Government that ruled by proclamation and,
without any local legislature, the colonial authorities codified in
law norms of collective punishment that the Army used in 1936. The
Army used 'lawfare', emergency legislation enabled by the colonial
state, to grind out the rebellion. Soldiers with support from the
RAF launched kinetic operations to search and destroy rebel bands,
alongside which the villagers on whom the rebels depended were
subjected to curfews, fines, detention, punitive searches,
demolitions and reprisals. Rebels were disorganised and unable to
withstand the power of such pacification measures.
