It was not published in Hebrew by Random House - and it had (probably) a different page count. I would place both with /s if you have reliable info, or if only English - state "English (translated from Hewbrew)".Icewhiz (talk) 19:14, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Mistake, apparently, but some things are still murky
On pp. 19-20 in this book Bergman writes that it was Lehi that was behind the 1946 British Embassy bombing: I don't think so...it was the Irgun.
At least that is who claimed the responsibility, according to this newsreel (and according to the sources cited in the Wikipedia article.) The newsreel is problematic though...it claims 2 people were dead, while other sources claim none were killed, but 2 people were wounded, (and Bergman claim 3 people injured) Huldra (talk) 21:31, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
