- Historical Context
The book is a historical document that compiles the testimonies and a summary of the decision from the Peel Commission, which was formally known as the Palestine Royal Commission. The British government appointed the commission in 1936 to investigate the causes of the unrest and the Arab general strike in Mandatory Palestine. The commission's report was published in July 1937 and concluded that the British Mandate was unworkable, recommending the partition of Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states.
