Says Hanita was attacked on first night after completion. Says Jewish settlement police were important in assisting, armed by British, but effectively under Haganah orders. "The farther you got from the High Commissioner's palace, the easier you could find among the British understanding and goodwill, and sometimes even deep friendship."
