About This Item
[Johannesburg, Union Publications for the author [1938]. 8vO. Original printed wrappers; pp. 23, a few illustrations after photographs, ink spot and number in crayon to front cover, a few tiny marginal flaws to wrappers, these as well minimally toned along margins, internally very good. This is an exceedingly rare publication of the recollections of service in the Palestine police force by a young South African Zionist during 1938 in the midst of the Arab revolt against the British and terrorist acts against Jewish settlers. Kluk's accounts are sharply observed vignettes of the daily grind, violence and terror during that period. He is trying to further the understanding of and communication between settlers and the British Mandate officials. The only other copy we were able to locate is in the British Library.
