Brilliant and revealing. I had no idea that Israel came so close to being a born as a full-on fascist state in 1948. Only subterfuge, cunning and deceit by the Labour Party and its militia, Haganah/Palmach, denied Katz's men their due. The true founders of Israel were the Stern Gang and Irgun, militia's of the Revisionist Party. Reading this book turns history on its head. E.g. Irgun had a ship with 3,000 arms hijacked by Haganah. Lost them the initiative in its battles with both British and Arabs. True history at last!
