Firstly, my supervisor, Eugene Rogan for his insights and assistance at every stage of this project; John Knight, whose encyclopaedic knowledge of the Palestine Police was immensely helpful; and Georgina Sinclair who took the time to read parts of the final draft. I would also like to thank all the former Palestine Police officers who agreed to be interviewed, and without whose testimony this thesis would have been considerably shorter. Finally I’d like to thank my family and friends who’ve encouraged and supported me throughout. i Table of Contents Acknowledgements ...................................................................................................i Table of Contents .....................................................................................................ii Introduction.............................................................................................................. 1 Chapter One – Prelude to Revolt .............................................................................5 Early Signs of Rupture....................................................................................................... 8 The Settlement Raids ......................................................................................................

POINT OF FAILURE PJ MC CARTY – UNIVERSITY OF WOLVERHAMPTON ABSTRACT By the summer of 1940 the British Army had suffered two simultaneous strategic defeats in Norway and France. Both had led to hurried and ignominious evacuations. A popular misconception contends that this led to a wholesale clearing out of the British Army’s command structure in order to start again, and that many officers suffered the loss of their careers in the necessity to rebuild an army both to withstand invasion and enable victory over Nazi Germany. This thesis contends that this belief is misplaced, and that rather than automatically ending the careers of all involved, some officers would progress and even thrive after 1940 in varying degrees.

  • 05 Maggy Hary 74-93
    Cercles 28 (2013) AN UNHOLY HOLY LAND BRITISH OFFICIALS’ REACTIONS TO THE END OF THE MANDATE IN PALESTINE (1945-1948) MAGGY HARY Université Denis Diderot (Paris 7) On 14 May 1948, General Sir Alan Cunningham, the last High Commissioner for the Mandate in Palestine, presided over the official departure of the British administration from Jerusalem. The mood that inspired the representatives of the Crown then was wholly different from the exaltation of Allenby’s troops when conquering the Holy City from the Ottomans some thirty years before: Allenby’s entry into Jerusalem on December 11th 1917 had indeed been carefully designed by the British government as a moment that could enhance the morale of the nation after three years of severe war [NEWELL]. By contrast, in 1948, British Mandate officials who were about to leave Palestine were gripped by a feeling of despondency and humiliation. Yet, they were so much engrossed in the day-to-day work of unwinding the Mandate that they lost sight of the historical significance of the events they were witnessing. In the last entry of his diary, Sir Henry Gurney, Chief Secretary of the Mandate administration from 1946 to 1948, accounted for the final day of the Mandate and underlined how practical details of organisation obliterated the importance of the moment: …We had thought out this last day so often that its historical importance had long given way in our minds to details of timing and transport. Nothing was left to chance. [...]. In the end, like all well- organised operations, it all looked very simple.

  • THESIS- THIRD Format Corrections Completed
    ABSTRACT Policing Palestine: British Security Strategy in Palestine, 1917-1947 Robert B. DeBoard, M.A. Mentor: George W. Gawrych, Ph.D. Throughout the British Mandate for Palestine, the British Government attempted to establish a policy that reconciled the dueling aspirations of Palestine’s Arab and Jewish communities. This thesis examines British security operations to suppress the Arab Revolt of 1936, Jewish terrorism during World War II, and the post-war United Resistance Movement. This study contends that the British adopted a colonial policing model that stressed the security forces’ reliance on native support in order to suppress active threats to peace. Second, it demonstrates that shifting British policy led to the alienation of the Jewish community, which had provided important support in suppressing the Arab Revolt. As Jewish intelligence sources dried up, the British were increasingly unable to counter violence coming from the Jewish Underground. This thesis adds to the historiography of the Mandate by demonstrating the complex relationship between British colonial policy, security strategy, and Arab and Jewish national interests.
