Inhaltsangabe

British Policy and the Refugees makes an important contribution to a little
known page of wartime history. Mary Johnstone, New Times June 1998 Jewish
Book World "An important addition to the literature on refugees." Labour
Research, Nov 97 "It provides a uniquely close-up view of what took place,
but was, through the ensuing years, rejected by one publisher after
another. Now at last it has appeared. Better late than never." "A
contemporary, inside and expert analysis of the treatment of and attitude
to "political" and "racial" refugees in Britiain at the start of the war.
It makes a valuable contribution both to the history of refugee policy at
the time, as well as to an understanding of the overall development (or
lack of development) of British attitudes over time to refugees, foreigners
and Jews. These pages, written more than fifty years ago, bear witness to
how little policy and rhetoric have changed in the intervening time, in a
way no modern writer could hope to.
