Promise and Fulfilment: Palestine 1917-1949
Arthur Koestler1949

In "Promise and Fulfillment," which is the story of Palestine from 1917 to 1949, Koestler uses the technique of the reporter-historian. He analyzes the political and economic forces which brought about the y conflict in that stretch of arid land as large as a county but with the problems of a continent. Koestler also investigates the psychological aspects, the irrational and emotional factors that impelled so many illogical actions on the part of all concerned. One can have read everything ever written about Palestine and modern Israel and still find much that is new in this work.
