Using a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, the book's award-winning author examines how the British imposed their rule, dominated by the clashing dualities of their Mandate obligations towards the Arabs and the Jews, and their own interests. The rulers' Empire-wide conceptions of the 'White man's burden' and preconceptions of the Holy Land were potent forces of change, influencing their policies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLucidly written, \u003cem\u003eMandated Landscape\u003c\/em\u003e is also a rich source of information supported by numerous maps, tables and illustrations, and has 66 appendices, a considerable bibliography and extensive index.
