Table of ContentsReviewsIn 1948 the United Nations voted in favor of partitioning Palestine into two states, one Arab, the other Jewish. Failure to implement fully this resolution has bedevilled the issue ever since. Daniel Mandel goes over the ground with scrupulous attention to the career of H.V. Evatt, Australian Minister of External Affairs and a central figure of the U.N. at that moment.
