The Balfour Declaration Clarified

I just became aware of an interesting book, The Balfour Declaration,  by Jonathan Schneer in which he provides an analysis of the Balfour Declaration, a 1917 document by British Foreign Secretary Lord Balfour that I had always thought indicated that the British Government would aid in the formation of a "Jewish homeland" in Palestine.


Schneer points out that Britain had promised Palestine to three parties -- Arabs, Jews and international overseers.
