This study investigates how the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry served as a focal point for the competing geopolitical interests of the United States and Great Britain in the Middle East following World War II. Amikam Nachmani, a historian specializing in Middle Eastern affairs, utilizes archival records and diplomatic correspondence to reconstruct the committee's proceedings. He argues that the inquiry was less about solving the humanitarian crisis of European Jewry and more about the strategic maneuvering between two global powers attempting to secure influence in a post-colonial landscape.
