In this book, Martin Bunton focuses on the way in which the
Palestine Mandate was part of a broader British imperial
administration - a fact often masked by Jewish immigration and land
purchase in Palestine. His meticulous research reveals clear links
to colonial practice in India, Sudan, and Cyprus amongst other
places. He argues that land officials' views on sound land
management were derived from their own experiences of rural
England, and that this was far more influential on the shaping of
land policies than the promise of a Jewish National Home.
