Review Quotes




"Prominent American historian Monty Noam Penkower, who has previously written a number of books about British-ruled Palestine and the international diplomacy surrounding the 'Palestine question', traces and assesses developments inside and outside of Palestine during the final years of the British mandate in this thorough and perceptive two-volume history. Whilst the author's intention is to contribute to historical knowledge about the Arab-Israeli conflict rather than to refute historical myths about it, his penetrating dissection of developments from 1945 through 1948 pertaining to this question most certainly accomplishes the latter task. ... This two-volume set represents an exhaustive inquiry into how and why the Jewish state came into existence-an inquiry that is enthusiastically recommended for students of this period." -David Rodman, Israel Affairs



"This year, Monty Noam Penkower, professor emeritus of Jewish History at the Machon Lander Graduate School of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, has continued his major contribution to the field of Middle East studies, providing an in-depth analysis of the conditions surrounding the establishment of the State of Israel. ... Given the plethora of studies on the creation of Israel, it is tempting to downplay the possibility that Penkower's two latest volumes can add to the understanding of what has become an intractable conflict. That would be a mistake." -Dr. Alex Grobman, The Jewish Link



"With the publication of Palestine to Israel: Mandate to State, 1945-1948, Monty N. Penkower completes his magisterial trilogy on the rise of the modern State of Israel. This is a scholarly achievement many years in the making, as the depth of the author's research and keen analysis clearly demonstrate. The expanse of Penkower's historical landscape testifies to his broad scholarly vision." -Rafael Medoff, The David Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, H-Judaic
