MIDDLE EASTBiblio.com

Four issues of the antifascist newspaper "On Guard".

1947183797London: The Fortythree Publishing Co. Ltd Citadel Press Ltd 1947-48. First editions each stamped and dated by the Library of the Jewish American Committee. Number 9 April leads with a story about the bombing of Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem and the connection between British fascists and the Arab Legion. It also features an illustration of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem meeting with Hitler in 1941. On 22 February 1948 three trucks and an armoured car exploded on Ben Yehuda Street killing up to 58 civilians and injuring up to 200 more. The attack was performed by Arab militants and British deserters although Abd al-Qadir claimed responsibility later that day in a leaflet. According to the article in this collection two months later further letters were mailed to MPs in the UK claiming that the attack was orchestrated by a Palestinian branch of the fascist British League at that time a part of Oswald Mosley's Union Movement. The article questions the veracity of the letters but nonetheless condemns the actions of British deserters in Palestine and the Arab Legion's acceptance of former Nazis. Other articles in this collection focus on exposing Mosley's work as well as reporting on antifascist activities South Africa's movement towards apartheid and local legislation. On Guard was published by the Jewish anti-fascist "43 Group". The paper "assumed a moderate non-sectarian identity which was both educative and campaigning. The function of On Guard was to raise anti-fascist conciousness and unite all sections of the public against the menace of fascism" Copsey p. 92 4 broadsheet newspapers bifolium leaf size 430 x 570 mm black letterpress on all pages half-tone photographic illustrations throughout.

Haj Muhammad Amin al-Zarb 1834-1898 rose from humble beginnings to become one of Irans wealthiest and most prominent merchants. He built up his wealth as a money changer a trader in textiles precious stones opium carpets agricultural products and staple foodstuffs amongst other goods and judicious transactions in land. Adept at cultivating powerful connections he became the principal supplier of luxury goods to the Shah his court and members of the ruling elite; served as private banker to the Shah his prime minister and influential bureaucrats; and became Master of the Mint. He had agents in all the main towns of Persia and Europe with correspondents in Asia and America.Amin al-Zarb was also an entrepreneur industrialist and innovator. Determined to bring to Iran the advances he had witnessed in Europe he invested in mining established factories with imported machinery such as glass china and silk reeling built a railway line and urged the Shah to establish a national bank. He also became an advocate of reform and curbs on arbitrary rule. He befriended the famous Islamic reformer Jamal al-Din Afghani. An innovator in business Amin al-Zarb led a very traditional life at home. Gifted at making money he was nevertheless a pious man who contributed generously to religious and charitable causes. Shireen Mahdavi draws on hitherto unpublished family archives to write not only a biography of a fascinating nineteenth-century merchant but also a social history of the period. Her portrait of Amin al-Zarb also provides important insights into the economic social and political role played by merchants in Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East in the nineteenth century. 286 pp. Illustrated.

Following the completion of his engineering studies in Stuttgart he returned to Haifa and was appointed Chief Engineer for the Province of Akko. He designed many buildings and was a leading figure in civil engineering. One of his most important projects was the survey of the Golan Hauran and the Ajlun districts in preparation for the construction of the Damascus-Haifa railway. In the course of this survey he produced the first accurate maps of these regions along with detailed descriptions of the archaeological remains and the present villages. He published many other reports and books on his discoveries supported by the Palestine Exploration Fund. With the outbreak of World War I the Templar community left for Germany. Schumacher returned in 1924 to his home on the Carmel where he died a year later. Although he was born in Ohio U.S.A. Gottlieb was brought-up and educated as a German. "I beg to through myself on the indulgence of my readers for the defects of style" he once wrote "for my work has been perforce written in a language which though familiar to me is not my own."
