“Anonymous Soldiers: The Struggle for Israel, 1917-1947”

In his newest book, Anonymous Soldiers: The Struggle for Israel, 1917 – 1947, Bruce Hoffman, the director of the Center for Peace and Security Studies at Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, provides a landmark history of the battles that led to the creation of Israel. Based on newly available documents from Britain’s National Archives, Anonymous Soldiers brilliantly re-creates a crucial period in the establishment of Israel, chronicling three decades of growing anti-colonial unrest that culminated in the end of British rule and the U.N. resolution to create two separate states.
