"Here for the first time is the poignant story of the thousands of British citizens who actually lived and worked in Palestine during the years of British rule over Palestine. Written largely in their own words, with honesty, humor and occasional bitterness, against a background of tragic and violent events. Their letters home, diaries, and memoirs vividly describe cultural affinities and misunderstandings, feelings for Arabs or Jews, accomplishments and mishaps, and reveal a strong sense of imperial mission coupled with a rueful awareness of human limitations." - dust jacket. 264 pages.
