Penned in 1917 by British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour, these words had an immense impact on history that still emanates a century later. In the controversial, fast-paced \u003ci\u003eBalfour's Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e, David Cronin traces the story of the rhetorical and practical assistance that Britain has given to the Zionist movement and the state of Israel since that day. Skillfully and engagingly written, \u003ci\u003eBalfour's Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e uses previously unreleased sources and archives to reveal a new side to an old story. Cronin focuses on important historical events such as the Arab Revolt, the Nakba and establishment of the state, the '56 and '67 wars, the Cold War, and controversial public figures like Tony Blair. Marking the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, Cronin provides a fascinating take on this oft-maligned, important history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Cronin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745399436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745399430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.30w x 0.80d","brand":"David Cronin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616903098623,"sku":"9780745399430","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82983e05-7b0f-4962-a58b-764c0521bdd6.jpg?v=1703022964","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/balfours-shadow-david-cronin-9780745399430","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
