Exploring an overlooked chapter in Middle East diplomacy, this study delves into the efforts of Fifth Avenue multimillionaires who attempted to broker peace between Jews and Arabs in the 1930s through secret negotiations and bribery. Drawing on newly discovered documents from archives worldwide, it presents a narrative that intertwines elite Jewish social circles in Manhattan with the vibrant streets of Baghdad. The book illuminates the complexities of the Arab-Jewish conflict and the varying perspectives within the Jewish community regarding the Palestinian issue.
