E. Lawrence\u2019s rival in an astonishing triangle: there is evidence that beautiful, rebellious Sarah, who died tragically in 1917, was the only woman Lawrence ever loved.<\/p>\n A rugged adventurer, Aaronsohn became convinced during his explorations of the Middle East that water would govern the region\u2019s fate. He compiled both the area\u2019s first detailed water maps and a plan for Palestine\u2019s national borders that predicted and \u2014 in its insistence on partnership between Arabs and Jews \u2014 might have prevented the decades of conflict to come.<\/p>\n But the taste for power that drew Aaron from science to politics led to his premature and mysterious death in 1919. His maps were lost, his library was destroyed, and his story obscured.<\/p>\n A history that speaks directly to the present, Aaronsohn\u2019s Maps reveals for the first time Aaronsohn\u2019s key role in establishing Israel and the enduring importance of Aaronsohn\u2019s maps in Middle Eastern politics today.<\/p>\n Reviews of Aaronsohn\u2019s Maps<\/strong><\/p>\n Patricia Goldstone cuts a deep swath through Palestinian history with her new title, Aaronsohn\u2019s Maps: The Untold Story of the Man Who Might Have Created Peace in the Middle East. Set primarily during World War I, Goldstone focuses on the life of Jewish agronomist Aaron Aaronsohn, who traveled as a small child to Palestine with his Romanian parents ahead of a wave of pogroms in 1882. What they found there in a country then under the control of the Ottoman Empire was a complicated social system where most of the Jewish residents \u201csubsisted on the Halukah; alms collected from Jews on all five continents to encourage their coreligionists in the Holy Land to pray for them.\u201d There was discord already between the two primary native groups over the dispersal of the Halukah before the flood of Jews from Eastern Europe that the Aaronsohns were part of arrived. The new immigrants complicated things as they were often more entrepreneurial and brought with them a different way of life. Also, most of them were fleeing ghettos and were determined not to be in a position of dependence ever again. Political conflict within this complicated mixture commenced immediately and the Aaronsohns showed themselves to be especially independent, a trait that Aaron proudly exhibited for the rest of his short life.<\/p>\n After growing up in Palestine, Aaron Aaronsohn became a scientist who was deeply concerned about the water supply in the region. He set out to create a hydrographic map that he believed could be used to develop permanent borders for the various regions in the wake of the Ottoman Empire\u2019s fall. During the war his expertise was courted by various individuals, from the Turkish leader of Palestine, to leaders of the international Zionist movement and British military leaders who actively sought control of Palestine as part of multiple and conflicting partition agreements that were made with various factions. Water became increasingly significant in the arguments put forth at the war\u2019s end by the major powers as they sought to carve up the area. As diplomat Harold Nicholson put it, the atmosphere at the post war conferences was like \u201ca riot in a parrot house.\u201d<\/p>\n In the midst of all of this Aaron Aaronsohn stood as someone apart from the fray; as a Jew actually from Palestine, an agriculture expert who had worked with the Ottoman Empire, and a scientist who had studied with various European agronomists, he believed firmly that Jews and Arabs had to work together in an equal relationship if the Middle East had any hope of surviving. In this respect he ran headlong into conflict with Zionist David Ben-Gurion, who was one of the founders of Israel and insisted that Jews employ only Jews. Aaronsohn all too often found himself pushed aside by various groups who all saw their own vision for Palestine and refused to listen to the more centrist view proposed by a man who saw the region not as a Biblical homeland but a place on earth with its own unique climate concerns.<\/p>\n Aaronsohn hoped that Britain could exert the calming influence needed to construct borders with care. Although he had few other options, he was sadly disappointed by the outcome of all his hard work on the political front as fewer and fewer cooler heads prevailed. When he was killed in an unexplained plane crash under dubious circumstances on May 15, 1919, so went one of the few men who could have pointed out the folly of British and French designs on the Middle East. The accident, which also killed the pilot, was never fully investigated.<\/p>\n Beyond all the politics of the early 20th century emigration to Palestine and the changes brought by World War I, Goldstone also writes about Aaronsohn\u2019s interactions with T.E. Lawrence (\u201cLawrence of Arabia\u201d) and the death of Aaronsohn\u2019s sister Sarah, the \u201cJewish Joan of Arc.\u201d Sarah Aaronsohn was a key player in a group of Palestinian Jewish operatives who provided intelligence to the British throughout the war. When the group was discovered by the Turks it resulted in a round of torture and death that is graphically depicted in the book; particularly in the case of Sarah, who suffered agonies that are barely describable before she was able to locate a hidden weapon and end her own life. Goldstone suggests that Sarah and Lawrence might have had a relationship far beyond that acknowledged by their families and presents the spy as a realistic candidate for the mysterious \u201cS.A\u201d to whom Lawrence dedicated his book, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom. I will admit that Sarah makes a lot more sense than many others who have been put forth as the source of Lawrence\u2019s attention (and the very romantic poem he wrote for S.A. in Pillars), but the author did make me a tad uncomfortable when suggesting that Lawrence\u2019s famous recollection of torture at the hands of the Turks did not really happen and he merely stole Sarah\u2019s pain for his own. It seems odd to suggest that on the one hand he loved her (or at least cared deeply for her) yet on the other co-opted her tragedy for his own gain. Goldstone freely admits that much of Lawrence is unknown, including the endless speculation surrounding his death, and wrinkles with Sarah Aaronsohn just provide more possibilities to consider.<\/p>\n Goldstone ends her book with a chapter about the current struggles for water rights between the Israelis, Palestinians, Jordanians and Syrians, proving that Aaronsohn was right all along. And believe it or not, Haliburton has actually entered into this mess, suggesting the Turks export water to the region in a pipeline that they, of course, would be key in designing and building. Somewhere, someone is laughing at the idea of Haliburton being the savior of so many conflicted countries.<\/p>\n The author makes a strong argument for so many of the fights over religion masking the real problem as she writes:<\/p>\n The coastal aquifers, especially in the politically critical Gaza area in which almost 1.4 million Palestinians have been penned, are strenuously overpumped, with seawater intrusions an increasingly serious problem. To the Palestinians, water is the most obvious symbol of their economic oppression: many of the fights in the Occupied Territories have started over the fresh green lawns, irrigated flower beds, and sparkling swimming pools of the Jewish settlers, while nearby Palestinian villagers are denied drilling rights and have running water, polluted by sewage, only one day every few weeks. The Palestinians complain that even if the Oslo Accords had been followed to the letter, they would have given Israeli water authorities a lock on water resources. The intractability of politicians has thus created a series of boxes from which it is now almost impossible to escape.<\/p>\n Aaron Aaronsohn was not perfect, and Goldstone is honest about his personal pitfalls. But he clearly saw the land he loved through a lens that allowed a great deal more realism and honesty then most of those who came to it. He saw it simply as land, and not as the bearer of so much human baggage that it has proven unable to support and cannot endure. Goldstone recounts that after his death President Wilson\u2019s special envoy to the Paris Peace Conference wrote: \u201cThe Jewish race had many brilliant leaders but when Aaron died I believe that it lost the man who, before all others, could kindle the hearts and minds of other nations to achieve sympathy. And not Zion alone will suffer for his loss.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Colleen Mondor, Bookslut<\/a>, May 2008<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#265986″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n AARON Aaronsohn\u2019s fascinating story will come as a major surprise to most students of Middle Eastern history. The early 20th-century agronomist and hydrologist\u2019s exploits easily rivalled those of T.E. Lawrence, the fabled Lawrence of Arabia. But only students of British foreign policy and devotees of the many intrigues involved in the conquest and dismantling of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, preceding and during the First World War, will have heard of him.<\/p>\n American journalist Patricia Goldstone would have readers believe that Aaronson had a superb master plan for pre-British mandatory Palestine that would have led to peaceful co-existence between the Israelis and their Arab neighbours. \u201cWhat this superman wanted,\u201d she writes, \u201cwas an independent Palestine, free from debt and the Great Powers \u2014 and grounded in an egalitarian relationship between Jews and Arabs.\u201d \u2026<\/p>\n Goldstone\u2019s treatise is, in many respects, a tour de force. She has done her research and her writing style, at times flamboyant, is always arresting. She doesn\u2019t hesitate to share her firm views on the huge number of issues and events she describes, which cover the period from the 1845 right up to today.<\/p>\n She effectively tells Aaronsohn\u2019s story as scientist, diplomat and spy. \u2026<\/p>\n \u2014 Harold Buchwald is a Winnipeg lawyer and columnist who has an abiding interest in Middle Eastern affairs \/ \u2018What\u2019s On Winnipeg\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#265986″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n Whatever happened to Aaron Aaronsohn, scientist, ecumenical patriot and spy?<\/p>\n Felix Frankfurter muttered that a \u201cbloodstained hand\u201d had silenced him, as it had his spy sister. And thus opens journalist\/historian Goldstone\u2019s spry scholarly detective story.<\/p>\n Aaronsohn, an \u00e9migr\u00e9 to Palestine, recognized that only with the help of the native Arabs would the Jewish people be able to make a homeland. He busied himself working on agriculture improvement projects and puzzling out the mysteries of the region\u2019s hidden waters, all the while tucking away all sorts of useful information into his capacious mind.<\/p>\n When World War I broke out, he began to deliver that information to the British, eager to help free Palestine from its Ottoman masters; the information he provided was of as much material use as were T. E. Lawrence\u2019s raids in the eastern desert, which may have brought the two into the same orbit: Goldstone speculates, intriguingly, that the \u201cS. A.\u201d to whom Lawrence dedicated Seven Pillars of Wisdom was Aaronsohn\u2019s sister Sarah. (As for Lawrence of Arabia\u2019s<\/em> version of history, Goldstone notes that Robert Graves insisted that Lawrence was straight.)<\/p>\n Though their perils, too, \u201cseemed made for the big screen,\u201d the Aaronsohns operated with quiet efficiency throughout the war; as Goldstone writes, though courageous, Aaron \u201crelied on his scientific knowledge as the basis for his intelligence\u201d and used water as a weapon in the campaign to take Damascus, all the while maneuvering carefully to further the emergence of a Zionist state.<\/p>\n Sarah was caught and tortured to death \u201cwithout having revealed a thing to the Turks\u201d while her brother was in London awaiting the Balfour Declaration; the victim of a mysterious airplane crash over the English Channel, he would soon disappear not just from the world, but from history.<\/p>\n Much superior to Ronald Florence\u2019s Lawrence and Aaronsohn (2007). Goldstone honors both Aaronsohns, closing with notes on how Aaron\u2019s plans for equitable water rights in Palestine might have led to peace today.<\/p>\n \u2014 Kirkus Review, June 15, 2007<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#265986″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n Patricia Goldstone\u2026 has come up with a well-researched, resourceful, politically balanced\u2026account of the life of the man who made the fatal mistake of taking issue with the leaders of the Zionist movement\u2026<\/p>\n Hers is the first true biography.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 H.V.F.

There\u2019s more than a touch of T.E. Lawrence in this child of Jewish settlers in Palestine: Aaron Aaronsohn\u2019s spy network helped the British take Jerusalem in World War I; he compiled the first maps of water in the arid region; his sister, also a spy and possibly Lawrence\u2019s lover, was captured and tortured to death.

Insofar as reading enjoyment is concerned \u2013 \u2018Aaronsohns Maps\u2019 breaks some new ground of Modern Israeli history that has rarely been covered elsewhere.<\/p>\n \u2026. Aaronsohns ideas, had they arrived to fruition, might have actually created peace in the area, due to his very practical schemes for the sharing of water and other resources of the region. Lawrence, on the other hand, had no pragmatic capability toward actually conjoining the constantly feuding and warring Arab clans whose shared hate for the infidels and Jews remain their main reason of any cooperation between themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Aharon ben Anshel, Jewish Press, November 2007<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#265986″ admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n Different types of Zionism \u2014 There are as many ways to interpret history as there are people in the world, and then some. Yet most people think that their version is the most accurate, factual, etc. If you fall into this camp, then reading the following books should at least persuade you to be more open to other worldviews.<\/p>\n Mideast water intrigue \u2014 You can\u2019t dispute that (Patricia Goldstone) tells an interesting story\u2026<\/p>\n Goldstone writes that she began work on this book just prior to the Iraq war and she, and other researchers, was \u201cdenied access to the main body of British archival material relating to Aaron\u2019s activities for the Eastern Mediterranean Special Intelligence Bureau on the grounds that the same methods are still in use today.\u201d As well, documents were lost when Aaronsohn\u2019s plane went missing after taking off from Kenley, England, on May 15, 1919.<\/p>\n And then there is the sheer difficulty in reconstructing anyone\u2019s life based on what material has survived their death and the decades following. So, Goldstone is left to make conjectures about several important matters, in particular, that Aaronsohn\u2019s maps could have changed the violent course of Israeli-Palestinian relations\u2026<\/p>\n Aaronsohn\u2019s Maps is truly engaging. It reads well, albeit more like a novel or an extended opinion piece than a biography. The discussion of the importance of a railway through the Middle East is particularly fascinating, as are the diplomatic machinations around the First World War, the intra-Jewish politics and the vastly different visions of Zionism at the turn of the last century.<\/p>\n \u2014 The Jewish Independent, September 7, 2007<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#265986″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/patriciagoldstone.com\/author-playwright-journalist\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/buy-now-amazon-150.png” title_text=”buy-now-amazon-150″ url=”https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Aaronsohns-Maps-Created-Modern-Middle\/dp\/1619025590\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1442363617&sr=1-1″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/patriciagoldstone.com\/author-playwright-journalist\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/buy-now-bn-150.png” title_text=”buy-now-bn-150″ url=”https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/aaronsohns-maps-patricia-goldstone\/1120998305?ean=9781619026438″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/patriciagoldstone.com\/author-playwright-journalist\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/buy-now-indie.png” title_text=”buy-now-indie” url=”https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781619025592″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/patriciagoldstone.com\/author-playwright-journalist\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/counerpoint-button.png” title_text=”counerpoint-button” url=”https:\/\/www.counterpointpress.com\/dd-product\/aaronsohns-maps\/” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider color=”#265986″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#265986″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/patriciagoldstone.com\/author-playwright-journalist\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/INTERLOCK-cover-sidebar.jpg” alt=”Interlock” title_text=”Interlock” url=”https:\/\/patriciagoldstone.com\/author-playwright-journalist\/interlock\/” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”flip” animation_direction=”right” box_shadow_style=”preset3″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/patriciagoldstone.com\/author-playwright-journalist\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tourism-book-sidebar.jpg” alt=”Making the World Safe for Tourism” title_text=”Making the World Safe for Tourism” url=”https:\/\/patriciagoldstone.com\/author-playwright-journalist\/buy-books\/” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”flip” animation_direction=”right” box_shadow_style=”preset3″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Footer” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#265986″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_module=”118″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF”]\u00a92021 Patricia Goldstone ~ Designed by Mesa Multimedia<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Patricia Goldstone author, playwright, journalistPatricia Goldstone author, playwright, journalistAaronsohn’s MapsScientist, diplomat, and spy, Aaron Aaronsohn was one of the most extraordinary figures in the early struggle to create a homeland for the Jews.
