The bitter struggle between Arab and Jew for control of the Holy Land has caused untold suffering in the Middle East for generations.
It is often claimed that the crisis originated with Jewish emigration to Palestine and the foundation of the state of Israel.
Yet the roots of the conflict are to be found much earlier – in British double-dealing during World War One. This is a story of intrigue among rival empires, of misguided strategies, and of how conflicting promises to Arab and Jew created a legacy of bloodshed which determined the fate of the Middle East.
