Professor Penkower's latest book, Decision on Palestine Deferred,
offers the first sustained, documented account of Palestine and the
Anglo-American alliance during the Second World War. Firmly
grounded in three decades of archival research, his spirited
narrative offers a fascinating cast of characters against the
backdrop of the larger Middle Eastern context. The latter relates
to Jewish and Arab activities during the War, the grave threat of
Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps, U.S. interest in Saudi Arabian oil,
and the effort to achieve Arab unity. Zionism's shift to viewing
the United States as the center of decision making in international
affairs, and hence the Archimedean point for forging Jewry's
destiny, occurred in these same six years. British anxieties about
imperial security, while administering the Palestine mandate by
means of a stringent immigration quota, jostled with the first
American steps taken to formulate a stance vis-a-vis Palestine, and
the region as a whole. The differing approaches of Churchill and
Roosevelt to the Palestine imbroglio are also explored, as are the
varied avenues that were then championed within the Jewish camp.
The impact of the Holocaust, with both governments breathing the
very spirit of defeatism and despair, surfaces throughout.
