The select pages seem to indicate that the book has a complex answer to the points you make.Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513524515428334509.post-70017087849006401602012-10-05T21:07:39.617+01:002012-10-05T21:07:39.617+01:00Call me cynical, but I look forward to readin a pr...Call me cynical, but I look forward to readin a proper review, because I won't be rushing to part with £60 based on that piece of publisher's waffle. It hints at dark dealings by the Imperial power (how original in these post-colonial days) but I suspect from the slipperiness of the wording that there really won't be any unearthed skullduggery. This is not a reflection on the author, with whom I am not acquainted, or the rigour of his reearch. It just sounds a little too hyped-up to deliver what it suggests. If there really was something dubous about the imposition of this law on the colonies, how come it remains substantially unamended in the Palestinian territories today, and still provides a core for Isreali law?Andy Jnoreply@blogger.com
