520			_aThe problem of Palestine and England's involvement with it is rooted deeply in the past. In Bible and Sword Barbara Tuchman provides a stirring account of the religious, cultural and political motives which led to the British conquest of the Holy Land in 1917 and to the Balfour Declaration. Underlining the dominant influence of the English Bible and the 'imperious necessity' of advance to the strategic Middle East, she traces the story from its origins in the misty ages of Christian legend through the Crusades, the Jews under Cromwell, the Eastern Question, Lloyd George and Balfour himself.
