The Secret Roads - The "Illegal" Migration of People, 1938-1948

"Reveals for the first time the fury and compulsion which, before, during and after [WWII] drove hundreds of thousands of Jews from every part of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia to reach Palestine in defiance of the laws of the British MAndate, of the dangers that beset them on their way and of the knowledge that their efforts seemed doomed to failure. Tells how the trickle of individuals in 1938 became the torrent that swamped and swept the Mandate away ten years later. Describes the amazing organization known as the Mossad, which developed into one of the most successful underground movements in history, with forged passports, secret wireless transmitters, a comprehensive information service, and no holds barred. Tells how the Mossad raised funds, stole lorries, chartered vessels, bribed Governments, channelled refugees to Mediterranean ports and finally broke the British Blockade of Palestine." - dust jacket. 223 pages.
