    The Jewish War

    On July 22nd 1946, in British-administered Palestine, Jewish guerillas carried out one of the most spectacular and controversial guerilla attacks of the 20th century. The bombing of the King David hotel, which housed the British administration in a section of the hotel, killed 91 people.

    Former Jewish guerillas who planned and carried out the attack tell the inside story of their violent campaign to oust the British and establish a State of Israel.

    Members of the British security forces in Palestine during that time describe their encounters with what could be described as the birth of modern, urban guerilla warfare.
