The Girl from Babylon - Paperback

by Adina-Hay Nissan And Ari Derin (Author)

In 1939, the British restricted Jewish Immigration into Palestine by enforcing a policy known as "The White Paper." A Jewish underground organization known as the Irgun, fought furiously against them. After the Holocaust ended in 1945, the British continued to restrict Jews from entering the country and the Irgun renewed their fight against the British.

The Girl from Babylon tells the fascinating story of one of the Irgun's surviving members, Adina-Hay Nissan.

Adina served the Irgun as a messenger and played a vital role in some of the most historic missions in early Israeli history, including the infamous bombing of the King David Hotel.
