Could the Arab-Israeli conflict have been avoided? Was it possible
to achieve peace between Jews and Arabs in Palestine in the 1930s?
Rafael Medoff's intriguing study reveals, for the first time, the
story of the Fifth Avenue multimillionaires who believed they could
bring peace to the Middle East through secret diplomacy and a
generous dose of baksheesh (bribery). In documents unearthed from
archives on three continents, Medoff has discovered an
extraordinary and previously unknown chapter in the history of
Middle East diplomacy. Here he brings the story to life. A work of
history that reads like a thriller, this book takes the reader from
the elite Jewish social clubs of interwar Manhattan to the bustling
bazaars of Baghdad, as it sheds fresh light on the Arab-Jewish
conflict, the relationship between American Jewry and the Holy
Land, and the divisions within the Jewish community over the
Palestinian Arab issue.
