IRGUN -- 'THE NATIONAL MILITARY ORGANIZATION IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL'
Les buts et les methods. [N.p.: n.d., but c.1945-1948]. Small 4° (208 x 166mm). 12pp., cyclostyled, text in French. Upper paper wrapper only with Irgun device (staples rusting, a few spots near spine). [With:] -- Another copy in Yiddish, dated 1947. 20pp. Stapled self-wrappers (staples rusting, last leaf repaired at lower margin, ooccasional soiling). [With:] COLONIAL OFFICE. Palestine. Statement of information relating to acts of violence. [Cmd. 6873.] London: HMSO, 1946. 8° (245 x 153mm). 10pp. (Occasional insignificant spotting.) Stapled self-wrappers. [With:] LABOR ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA POALE ZION. Jewish Resistance and the role of The Irgun, The Stern Group, The American League for a Free Palestine, etc. [Educational kit No. XII.] New York: May 1947. 4° (280 x 215mm). 18ll., cyclostyled. (Occasional faint marginal finger-soiling.) Original buff printed wrappers (twin punch holes, later staples, covers chipped and dogeared, lower cover detached). [With:] SKLARZ, Heinrich. Anti-Terror League Palestine ... Isolate the Terrorists! Tel-Aviv: [n.d., but c.1947]. Handbill (171 x 248mm). Text in English and Hebrew. (One corner faintly dogeared.) [And:] AMERICAN LEAGUE FOR A FREE PALESTINE, INC. Broadside lithographic reproduction of an advert originally placed in the New York Post, Monday 30 June 1947. (390 x 279mm).
VERY RARE EPHEMERA AND PAMPHLETS RELATING TO IRGUN'S ACTIVITIES. The French text is curious as it is ideological and political in nature, rather than military. The 1946 British command paper gives a listing of recent Jewish terrorist attacks, and demonstrates the dramatic increase in violence in the Mandate, which led the British to launch Operation Agatha on 28 June-1 July 1946. This operation, involving 17,000 troops, rounded up 2,718 Jews, and seized large quantities of arms and ammunition. Although successful, it essentially closed the door on negotiation between the British authorities and the Yishuv, and hardened the resentment by the latter against the continuing implementation of the 1939 White Paper (see lot 396), and the failure of the Labour Government to increase immigration quotas as recommended by the 1946 Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry (see lots 404-406). The American pamphlet suggests that Britain was forced to bring the Palestine problem to the U.N. due to the refusal of the Jewish Agency to accept any offer that might compromise the future of the Jewish people. Nonetheless, there were still considerable tensions among the Yishuv as to the best policy to adopt, as the handbill, calling for an isolation of Jewish terrorists, illustrates.
