Churchill and the Jews, 1900-1948

This book looks beyond the myth and makes a sober reappraisal of Winston Churchill's attitudes and policies towards the Jews and to Zionism.

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.
