Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The story of the murder of a Jewish activist by a British counter-terrorist officer in Palestine in 1947, and the subsequent cover-up. Cesarani is the biographer of Koestler and Eichmann, both of which received rave reviews.

Publisher's description:

Explores the reasons why Britain lost Palestine, why its counter-insurgency strategy collided with its diplomacy, and why the tactics of the security forces were ill-judged, poorly executed, and futile. This title draws on the declassified files of the Security Services to reveal the ambition of Jewish terrorist attacks on Britain in late 1940s.
