From Haven To Conquest by Walid Khalidi

Readings in Zionism and the Palestine Problem, 1899-1948

A documentary anthology that assembles primary sources, official records, political writings, and contemporary commentary tracing the development of Zionist ideology, British imperial policy, Jewish immigration and land acquisition, and Palestinian political responses up to 1948. Through curated documents and scholarly notes it shows how competing nationalisms, colonial maneuvering, and international diplomacy escalated tensions and culminated in the 1948 war and the large-scale displacement of Palestinian communities, offering evidence and context for understanding the origins of the Palestine problem.
