This 3-volume series presents the development of
the pre-statehood Jewish community (Yishuv)
in Palestine between the world wars, against the background of local, regional
and global events. It focuses on how the Yishuv
developed during these years into an autonomous community ready for
independence, absorbing hundreds of thousands of immigrants despite being
under foreign rule and involved in an escalating conflict with its Arab
neighbors.
