"Mandat"

"The State of Israel was not established in 1948. The Declaration of Independence was not signed. Zionism was defeated, its leaders eliminated.... Avinoam Tubolski is the founder of a movement that openly seeks to extend the British Mandate.... The young man became prime minister of the British-run puppet state... He fantasizes about Israel being like England.... A mysterious Christian sect takes over the army and the state, executes opponents of the government and expels the locals. Tubolsky is embroiled in a tangle of subversive struggles, brutal rivalries, toxic intrigues and religious messianic aspirations. This novel is about what would have happened if the British had stayed in the Palestine area." --
