For those interested in American perspectives on the “Palestine question” coming out of WWI, I recently published an article in First World War Studies about John Huston Finley, who led the American Red Cross’s Commission to Palestine during the war. While serving in that role, Finley had worked closely with British forces led by Gen. Edmund Allenby. Finley came away from the experience absolutely infatuated with Allenby–an infatuation that helped convince Finley that the British would be ideal stewards of the Holy Land.
