Hi,
I'm looking for sources which present the Arab Revolt in Palestine (1936-9) from the Arab and British points of view. So far, I have been able to find Swedenburg's "Memories of Revolt" and Kanafani's "The 1936-39 Revolt in Palestine".
Will greatly appreciate recommendations!
try entering British Mandate in Palestine into a search engine and work through the entries, there is a lot of material linking into your project, most interesting perhaps is Jarman's 16 volume work Palestine and Transjordan Administration Reports 1918-1948,
published in 1995
Thank you, Timothy. Jarman's collection is an invaulable primary source, but I am looking also for secondary material.

Thank you, Tom! I know of Hughes' work (he has other articles as well on the subject), but the others were new to me.

I could not suggest more reading. However, I will forward you question to my colleague Dr. Adle mana i send you his email and you could ask him directly if you want. [email protected]
He is a known historian, and worked on the Othoman period and now on Israeli Arabs after 1958' and he knows the literature very well.
