A novel based on events that took place between 1914 and 1918 in London, Cairo, Constantinople, Jerusalem, and some of the villages of Palestine. The novel dramatizes the courage of a small group of Palestine Jews who dared during World War I to conspire against the Turks by acting as spies for the British Forces under General Sir Edmund H.H. Allenby.

Michael Seymour Blankfort (1907-1982) was an American screenwriter, author and playwright.

In an act of selfless courage, while risking being blacklisted himself, Blankfort served as a front for his friend the blacklisted Albert Maltz on the Academy Award-nominated screenplay of Broken Arrow (1950).
