The Revolt [Story of the Irgun]

"Written by a man who, probably more than any single one of his contemporaries, was responsible for the emergence of the sovereign Jewish State of Israel. It is a document of considerable historical and political importance. Mr. Begin has been at pains to stress that this book is not a history of the Hebrew revolt. He has deliberately confined himself to matters with which he personally was intimately concerned. It is a book of personal memoirs. His recorded facts have been so faithfully and fairly set down that despite the critical light which some of them shed upon influential groups in the re-born State of Israel, not one of his facts has been successfully disputed since the book was published some time ago in Israel in the original Hebrew. The appearance of an edition in English affords the serious-minded citizens of [England] their first opportunity to acquaint themselves with the truth about the Hebrew revolt against British Mandatory rule in Palestine." - Editor's Preface. Reprint of the 1952 first edition. Text in English. xiv, 386 pages. Index. Black and white photographic plates. Clean, tight and unmarked with moderate wear. No dust jacket. A sound copy.; 8vo
