About this item

In 1936, the Holy Land erupted in a rebellion that targeted both the local Jewish community and the British Mandate that for two decades had midwifed the Zionist project. The Great Arab Revolt would last three years, cost thousands of Lives - Jewish, British, and Arab - and cast the trajectory for the Middle East conflict ever since. Yet incredibly, no history of this seminal, formative first Intifada has ever been published for a general audience. This is the story of two national movements and the first sustained confrontation between them. The rebellion was Arab, but the Zionist counter-rebellion - the Jews' military, economic, and psychological transformation - is a vital, overlooked element in the chronicle of how most of Mandate Palestine became the State of Israel. Today, eight decades on, the revolt's legacy endures. Based on extensive archival research on three continents and in three languages, Palestine 1936 is the origin story of the world's most intractable conflict, revealing world-changing events through extraordinary individuals on all sides: their loves and their hatreds, their deepest fears and their profoundest hopes.
