PALESTINE -- Palestine. Royal Commission Report. [Cmd. 5479.] London: HMSO, 1937. 8° (246 x 155mm). 9 colour-printed maps. (Edges lightly soiled, some spotting in some maps.) Original blue printed wrappers (spine evenly faded, short tear at foot of front joint, light wear).
THE PEEL REPORT AND THE PARTITION OF PALESTINE. A rare publication which paved the way for the partition of Palestine, the end of British administration, and the formation of the state of Israel in 1948. The Royal Commission was 'the most high-powered of the various commissions of enquiry which had visited Palestine, and its report, published in July 1937, was a model of insight, precision and lucidity. Seldom, if ever, has an intricate political problem been so clearly analysed by men who had little previous knowledge of the issues' (Lacquer). Laquer, A History of Zionism (1989), p. 514.
