Churchill and the Jews, 1900-1948

Churchill's exalted position in the pantheon of Jewish and Zionist heroes has been almost taken for granted. This book looks beyond the myth and makes a sober reappraisal of the British statesman's attitudes and policies towards the Jews and to Zionism.

Michael J. Cohen holds the Lazarus Philips Chair of History at Bar-Ilan University, Israel.
