This book brings the forgotten pages of history back to passionate life. Doreen Ingrams has sieved through secret cabinet documents, Foreign and War office memorandum and their cryptic annotations to observe the creation of a Zionist homeland out of the Palestine Protectorate. Cock-up or conspiracy? Judge Curzon, Churchill, Weizmann, Blafour, TE Lawrence by their own words.
Doreen Ingrams (1906-1997) was a highly unconventional historian. The youngest child of a Liberal Home Secretary, she ran away from home to become an actress. After six fulfilling yeatrs of Shakespearean leads, she fell in love with young colonial official. Bored rigid by the society of other colonial administrators in Mauritius, Zanzibar and Yemen, she survived by immersing herself in the languages, politics and cultures around her, educating herself like those other pioneering, female, scholar-travellers of the Middle East. She and her equally distinguished husband, Harold Ingrams, were jointly awarded gold medals by the Royal Geographical Society, The Royal Asiatic Society and the Royal Central Asian Society.
