| 520 | |a Spring 1936. The Holy Land erupted in a rebellion that targeted both the local Jewish community and the British Mandate authorities that for two decades had midwifed the Zionist project. The Great Arab Revolt would last three years, cost thousands of lives, and cast the trajectory for the Middle East conflict ever since. The revolt to end Zionism had instead crushed the Arabs themselves, leaving them crippled in facing the Jews' own drive for statehood a decade later. Zionist leaders began to abandon illusions over Arab acquiescence, and faced the prospect that fulfilling their dream of sovereignty might mean forever clinging to the sword. Kessler shows that today, eight decades on, the revolt's legacy endures. When Washington promotes a "two-state solution," it is invoking a plan with roots in this same pivotal period. -- adapted from jacket | ||
