Without a mandate: the story of the "Bergson Group" and its campaign for a Jewish Army to save the Jewish people of Europe, and the establishment of a Hebrew Republic in Palestine

Without a Mandate is Merlin’s posthumously published account of the Bergson Group’s campaigns for U.S. government action to rescue Jews from the Holocaust. It offers an insider’s perspective, a chronicle of a battle by one of the combatants. As such, it is a vital historical document and contributes to our understanding of one of the most consequential eras in modern Jewish history -- from the prologue.
