520    A landmark history, based on newly available documents, of
       the battles between Jews, Arabs, and the British that led 
       to the creation of Israel Anonymous Soldiers brilliantly 
       re-creates the crucial period in the establishment of 
       Israel, chronicling the three decades of growing 
       anticolonial unrest that culminated in the end of British 
       rule and the UN resolution to create two separate states. 
       This groundbreaking book tells in riveting, previously 
       unknown detail the story of how Britain, in the twilight 
       of empire, struggled and ultimately failed to reconcile 
       competing Arab and Jewish demands and uprisings. Bruce 
       Hoffman, America's leading expert on terrorism, shines new
       light on the bombing of the King David Hotel, the 
       assassination of Lord Moyne in Cairo, the leadership of 
       Menachem Begin, the life and death of Abraham Stern, and 
       much else. Above all, Hoffman shows exactly how the 
       underdog "anonymous soldiers" of Irgun and Lehi defeated 
       the British and set in motion the chain of events that 
       resulted in the creation of the formidable nation-state of
       Israel. This is a towering accomplishment of research and 
       narrative, and a book that is essential to anyone wishing 
       to understand not just the origins of modern-day Israel or
       the current situation in the Middle East, but also the 
       methodology of terrorism. Drawing on previously untapped 
       archival resources in London, Washington, D.C., and 
       Jerusalem, Bruce Hoffman has written one of the most 
       detailed and sustained accounts of a terrorist and 
       counterterrorist campaign that may ever have been seen, 
       and in doing so has cast light on one of the most decisive
       world events in recent history. This will be the 
       definitive account of the struggle for Israel for years to
       come. From the Hardcover edition. 
520    Draws on newly available documents from the National 
       Archives in Britain to chronicle the historical events and
       key campaigns that led to the creation of Israel.
