5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent work, defines the field, somewhat slanted, September 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Success and Failure of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, 1945-46: Last Chance in Palestine (Jewish Studies) (Hardcover)
This is a fine study, which really defines the field. It should be read together with the book "Anglo-American Committee" by a scholar out of Israel, published by Lang in London. This (Podet) one is the far superior work, analyzing the testimony of all the members of the Committee beautifully and summarizing their thoughts better than they did themselves in the testimony. But the author's pro-Zionist slant is visible. The other (Lang) book is a good corrective.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The last chance for peace prior to the birth of Israel., July 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Success and Failure of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, 1945-46: Last Chance in Palestine (Jewish Studies) (Hardcover)
This is a brilliant study, collecting and analyzing all the available material on this important committee. The committee presented the only compromise that, at that time, would have led to peace in the Near East. The State Department and the British Foreign Office subverted the proposal until the time became too late. A splendid analysis and an important part of the story of the modern birth or rebirth of Israel.
