Originally published in 1951, this book explores the development in
England of the Sephardi branch of the Jewish community, the
co-heirs, with their kinsmen in Holland, in Italy, in North America
and in the Middle East, of the Golden Age of Jewish history in
Spain. Based on archival history from within the community, it was
the first full-length history of the Sephardi community in England
and describes how this little Jewish community, the first in
England since the Middle Ages, grew, prospered and contributed the
wealth and influence of London, and eventually producing in
Disraeli one of England's greatest Prime Ministers.
First published in 1928, Palestine Old and New is a historical
travel guide providing a preliminary account of Palestine through
the eye of a Zionist. The book takes the reader through the natural
landscape of Palestine, familiarizing them with the local Muslim,
Jewish and Christian populations, and providing both historical and
Biblical accounts of various sites. As the chief immigration
officer in British Mandate of Palestine from 1921 to 1934, the
intended audience of the author was the Jews thinking about
immigrating to Palestine, but his descriptive portrayal of the
currently occupied territory is a rich account for present readers
of the Palestine that was. The language used is a reflection of its
era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this
republication. This book will be of interest to students of
history, political science, international relations and geography.
First published in 1942, Palestine is a brief history of Zionism,
interspersed with a wealth of observation stimulation for the
seeker of objective truth. The author develops his own theories of
Jewish racialism, nationalism and colonization, and elaborates on
the role of Britain with respect to Zionism in Palestine. He also
expands on the binary of a spiritual Zionism and a territorial
neo-Zionism stating that former believed in peaceful coexistence
with the Arab population in Palestine, while the latter is only
invested in aggressive nationalism. The language used is a
reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to
any reader by this republication. This book will be of interest to
students of history, political science, international relations and
geography.
First published in 1950, Palestine Under the Mandate is an account
of the role of Britain in Palestine during the British mandate
period from 1920 to 1948. The author served as the chief
immigration officer in British Mandate of Palestine from 1921 to
1934 and considers this book an attempt to dissipate the fog of
propaganda in which the whole subject is shrouded. He delineates
the difference between the terms Jew, Jewish and Zionist before
situating the central question of his argument: What would have
been the position of the Jewish National Home today if its germ had
not been carefully nursed and protected for a quarter of the
century after the acceptance of the Mandate? Since the author was a
government employee, it is no surprise that his loyalty lies with
the British government; however, this book is still an important
record of the arguments employed to both build and destroy
Palestine and will be worth reading for students of history,
politics, international relations, global studies, and geography.
First published in 1946, A Dictionary of International Affairs is
virtually an encyclopaedia. This highly useful reference work is
indispensable to all who desire to be well-informed about the world
in which they live. The scope of this book is unusually wide. It
deals with such varied subjects of the Chaco Dispute, Ogpu,
Syndicalism, Freedom of the Seas, Balfour Declaration, etc. It also
contains statistics about minerals, agricultural produce, and
industrial products. In addition, it provides essential information
about erstwhile colonies, islands, and nations. It brings together
- in a precise style and compact form - a vast amount of basic and
interesting information on almost every conceivable aspect of
international affairs. Chief emphasis is given to developments
since World War I - particularly to those agreements, concepts,
agencies, problems, areas and resources which are of continuing
importance.
