The Story of the Jewish Legion [Paperback]

This is a story of fighting men, struggling in a great cause. The Jewish Legion was organized and fought in the First World War, their goal the securing of The Land of Israel as a Jewish National state. But his story can not be told without telling also of British imperial intrigue, of promises lightly given and lightly broken, of the injustice founded in opportunism and confirmed by decree.
Founder and guiding spirit of the Jewish Legion and architect of the plan for a Jewish army was Vladimir Jabotinsky (1880-1940). He has written his story simply and faithfully, giving praise to the men who fought with him, to the British officers who helped organize the great struggle; giving blame to the political profit-makers who have made British imperial policy the watchword of reaction and bigotry. As it was in 1945, when this book had first appeared in English translation, the publication of the authorized history of the Jewish Legion comes at a
most opportune moment in the History of the Jewish People.
