“Sharp, skillful . . . Segev certainly knows how to write a riveting tale.” —Anita Shapira, The New Republic

“Never have we had a book documenting life under the British with the precision, magic, and charm of One Palestine, Complete. . . Tom Segev has chosen wonderfully tangible details for a rich and fascinating fresco . . . He treats the Mandate period as a novel, laying out all the elements needed to further the plot over the next fifty years. Here are the seeds of all that has come to pass . . . Clearly, the tensions, problems, and ills plaguing the country today were very much alive then.” —Ha'aretz

“Loaded with information on the British mandate and the people who ran it.” —Sol Schindler, Washington Times

“Segev handles his material with a historian's scrupulous scholarship and a journalist's eye for storytelling. Sophisticated in its analysis and fair in its judgments, One Palestine, Complete isn't a chronicle of heroes or villains.” —Dave Luhrssen, Milwaukee Shephard Express

“Exceedingly well written . . . Certain to become a landmark of information on the history of Israel.” —David Rosenfield, Houston Jewish Herald-Voice
