On behalf of Asquith’s government, McMahon promised the Sharif an independent Arab state after the war, if he would ally with Britain and launch a revolt against the Ottomans. Two years later, Lloyd George’s government declared that the region of Palestine would be for the global Jewish community. Britain abandoned its earlier pledge to the Sharif, and successive governments dismissed calls for publication of the McMahon–Hussein correspondence on the grounds that it would be ‘detrimental to the public interest’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBritain and pro-Zionist historians claim that Palestine was never guaranteed to the Sharif, but here Peter Shambrook demonstrates conclusively that it was. Through a comprehensive analysis of official records and private papers, he details the events surrounding the decision to withhold publication of the correspondence, reveals how officials increasingly came to doubt the integrity of that policy, and exposes as a whitewash the 1939 Anglo-Arab Report issued in the wake of discussions on the correspondence with an Arab delegation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, no government has investigated the matter, and there has been no official acknowledgement of the truth, which Shambrook lays bare – along with its devastating consequences in \u003cem\u003ePolicy of Deceit\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833429872876,"sku":"9780861546329","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20303033482494.jpg?v=1758457696"},{"product_id":"policy-of-deceit-by-peter-shambrook-9780861549498","title":"Policy of Deceit","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the First World War, the British High Commissioner in Egypt, Sir Henry McMahon, secretly promised the Sharif of Mecca an independent Arab state, including Palestine, after the war.
