The work frames a long diplomatic relationship and debates over how Britain’s role and the term “collusion” shaped interpretations of events leading toward the partition of Palestine. It also documents the publication history, contributors’ acknowledgements, and the scholarly basis for reconstructing diplomatic contacts across Arab, British, and Israeli sources.","THE POLITICS OF
