Palestine Partition Report - Presented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to Parliament by Command of His Majesty October, 1938.

First edition. Royal octavo. 310 pages. Thirteen maps, the first being opposite page 53, the next ten folded and tipped in at the rear, the final two folded and tipped onto rear endpaper. Originally issued in blue wrappers with the last two maps in a pocket. Recently rebound in blue cloth, not retaining the original wrappers. This report was commissioned by the Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to supersede and thereby bury the Peel Report which had found the Mandate to be unworkable and had set out partition boundaries. Woodhead duly dismissed the idea of partition.Staining (tea?) to inner margins of first 20 pages. Some creasing to edges and corners of maps. Very good.
