Anonymous Soldiers: The Creation of the State of Israel with Bruce Hoffman

On March 4, 2015, the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law and the Institute for Israel Studies welcomed Dr. Bruce Hoffman, Director of the Center for Security at Georgetown University, who presented his new book Anonymous Soldiers: The Struggle for Israel, 1917-1947 (Knopf, 2015). An expert on terrorism and counterterrorism, Dr. Hoffman relied on newly available documents from the National Archives in Britain to portray the anti-colonial movement in Palestine, as well as Great Britain’s attempts—and ultimate failure—to reconcile Arab and Jewish demands.
