"The Balfour Declaration"Professor Jonathan Schneer - History, Technology, and Society, will give a talk about his book, "The Balfour Declaration: The Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict", followed by a book signing, in the Museum Theater at The Jimmy Carter Presidential Museum, 441 Freedom Parkway.
Issued in 1917 during World War I, the Balfour Declaration committed Britain to supporting the establishment in Palestine of “a National Home for the Jewish people”. A book that is crucial to understanding the Middle East as it is today, The Balfour Declaration is a riveting volume about the ancient faiths and timeless treacheries that continue to drive global events in our time.
