- This deeply researched multi-perspective monograph is a landmark imperial-military history, with contemporary relevance, of Britain’s pacification of the Arab Revolt 1936, a crucial stage in Israeli-Palestinian history. Hughes argues that British effectiveness was primarily due to legal and not military methods. This is the first history of Palestine’s pacification contextualised within imperial histories of colonial control. It is the result of a fourteen-year investigation of a vast body of often difficult to access primary sources in four languages (including Arabic and Hebrew) from 56 archives. Creative methodologies with field trips, interviews, and access to privately held papers provide critical insights.
