The Reckoning

Meer over het boek

Avraham Stern, a charismatic figure in the struggle for Jewish independence, orchestrated high-profile terrorist attacks in British Palestine during the early 1940s. As the most wanted man, he hid in an attic in Tel Aviv while being pursued by Assistant Superintendent Geoffrey Morton. The circumstances surrounding Stern's capture and death remain contentious, with conflicting narratives about his intentions and actions. This incident not only fueled a cult of martyrdom but also complicated relations among the British, Arabs, and Jews, influencing the conflict for years to come.
