The Betrayal, by Stephen S. Wise and Jacob de Haas is the December choice of the Jewish Book Club for its subscribers. In discussing the choice, Dr. Ralph H. Goldman, president and editor-in-chief, stated that the book is a clear, concise and deliberate statement, devoid of any overstatement, regarding the British government’s change of attitude toward Zionism.
