The chapters here analyse a wide cross-section of the conflicting issues --social, political and strategical--that attended British colonial rule over the country, from 1920 to 1948. 　\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology contains contributions by several of the most respected Israeli scholars in the field - Arab, Druze and Jewish. It is divided into three sections, covering the differing perspectives of the main 'actors' in the 'Palestine Triangle': the British, the Arabs and the Zionists. The concluding chapter identifies a pattern of seven counterproductive negotiating behaviours that explain the repeated failure of the parties to agree upon any of the proposals for an Arab-Zionist peace in Mandated Palestine.　\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume is a modern review of the British Mandate in Palestine from different perspectives, which makes it a valuable addition to the field.
