John B. Quigley Libri

In this book, the author argues that the fate of Palestine was not determined on the basis of principle. He focuses on the lawyer-diplomats who pressed for and against a Jewish state at the United Nations. číst celé

The Scottish landscape, with its mountains, heaths, wild coastlines, and dreamy lakes, alongside the burgeoning trading city of Glasgow, serves as the backdrop for dramatic events. The Kings are a typical upper-middle-class family of the late Victorian era, owning a prosperous whisky distillery and several pubs. Fergus King, the head of the family, manages the business with a firm hand. However, his absolute control over both business and family is gradually undermined: the schemes of his son-in-law pose challenges, as do the revolutionary ideas of his son James. Most threatening of all is a potential scandal involving his son Robert and his love for a Catholic girl, which jeopardizes the family's peace.

The book explores the complexities of Britain's control over Palestine following World War I, highlighting the struggle to establish a legal framework for governance and the creation of a Jewish national home. It examines the implications of Britain's actions, revealing that the transformations implemented in Palestine were ultimately without a legal foundation, leading to ongoing tensions and conflicts in the region.
