Charles D. Smith in a review says that throughout the book, Karsh presents the Zionists as "sincere and open with Palestinians, as are the British", whereas "Palestinians and other Arabs, especially their leaders, are corrupt and untrustworthy". Karsh, according to Smith, deliberately distorted the main thrust of the Peel Commission Report and is "incapable of accepting the idea of Palestinian national aspirations".
