Henry Gurney was the last Chief Secretary of the Mandate Government of Palestine. From mid-March to mid-May 1948, at his HQ in Jerusalem's King David Hotel, he wrote his diary under fire from Jews and Arabs alike, with both groups taking aim at the British Administration as the Mandate drew to a close and the country spiralled into violence.
Describes the decline of the British Empire after World War II and the start of the Arab-Israeli conflict, using the diary of Henry Gurney, last Chief Secretary of the Mandate Government of Palestine
