The Palestine Police Force was a British colonial police service established in Mandatory Palestine on 1 July 1920, when High Commissioner Herbert Samuel's civil administration took over responsibility for security from General Allenby's Occupied Enemy Territory Administration. The two years covered by One Man In His Time are among the bloodiest in the history of a complex and tragic land. The role of the British controlled Palestine Police was to hold the front line against this rising tide of nationalism and the terrorism that was tearing the country apart. One Man In His Time details the experiences; some insightful, some innocent and some fearful and bemused, of a young British policemen, yet to reach his twenties, caught up in the fighting of Jew against Imperialist Britain and against the Arabs whose country was being taken away from them. This carefully annotated diary provides vital personal evidence of a conflict whose repercussions are still influential in the Middle East.
