"The best single account of Palestine under the British mandate . . . This will doubtlessly become the authoritative text for the pre-state history of Israel."-- Omer Bartov, The New York Times Book Review "Sharp, skillful . . . Segev certainly knows how to write a riveting tale."-- Anita Shapira, The New Republic "A brilliant, truthful, and compassionate book . . . In all the vast literature about Palestine/Israel, this is the only book with equal insight into all of the protagonists."-- Arthur Hertzberg, author of Jews: The Essence and Character of a People "An antidote to myths . . . A book of pressing relevance . . . We should be thankful."-- Gershom Gorenberg, Washington Post Book World "Remarkable and poignant . . . Important for any understanding of the Middle East conflict."- -Susan Muaddi, Philadelphia Weekly "Masterly . . . well-informed and impartial . . lets the historical record straight."-- Patrick Martin, Toronto Globe & Mail "A fresh look at a period that at times prefigured the present . . . Compelling."-- Seth Gitell, Boston Phoenix "A wonderfully readable account of the mandate, classic and magisterial in unpacking the story . . .

A fascinating book."-- Carlin Romano, Philadelphia Inquirer "Thoroughly researched . . . incisive."-- Steve Lipman , Jewish Week "Never have we had a book documenting life under the British with the precision, magic, and charm of One Palestine, Complete. . . Tom Segev has chosen wonderfully tangible details for a rich and fascinating fresco . . . He treats the Mandate period as a novel, laying out all the elements needed to further the plot over the next fifty years. Here are the seeds of all that has come to pass . . .

Synopsis
A landmark book, "One Palestine, Complete" explores the tumultuous period before the creation of the state of Israel. This was the time of the British Mandate, when Britain promised both Jews and Arabs that they would inherit the land, and thus set in motion the conflict that haunts the region to this day. Photos., One Palestine, Complete explores the tumultuous period before the creation of the state of Israel. This was the time of the British Mandate, when Britain's promise to both Jews and Arabs that they would inherit the land, set in motion the conflict that haunts the region to this day. Drawing on untapped archival materials, Tom Segev reconstructs an era (1917 to 1948) of limitless possibilities and tragic missteps. He introduces an array unforgettable characters, tracks the steady advance of Jews and Arabs toward confrontation, and puts forth a radical new argument: that the British, far from being pro-Arab, consistently favored the Zionist position, out of the mistaken--and anti-Semitic--belief that Jews turned the wheels of history. Rich in historical detail, sensitive to all perspectives, One Palestine, Complete brilliantly depicts the decline of an empire, the birth of one nation, and the tragedy of another.
