Peter Shambrook: The British betrayal of Palestine | The InnerView
During the First World War, Britain promised the Arabs of the Ottoman-ruled Middle East an independent state in exchange for revolting against the Ottomans. The British changed course soon after, breaking their promise to the Arabs, and paving a way for the creation of a Jewish state on Palestinian lands. Author and historical consultant, Peter Shambrook, highlights in detail how this betrayal played out in his book 'Policy of Deceit: Britain and Palestine, 1914-1939'. Shambrook's work exposes Britain's role in fostering one of the most bitter international conflicts of the past century. On this episode of The InnerView, Imran Garda talks to Peter Shambrook about how he researched the book, what surprised him, and how his findings change the global conversation about Palestine.
