Altalena - Unique Etzel Publication, July 1948.
A one-tome issue by Etzel following the Altalena affair in which they attack in harsh words Ben Gurion and the leaders of the State. The cover is illustrated, showing Ben Gurion and Sharet overlooking the bombing of the ship in flames, and the survivors swinning away from it. In the smoke there are skulls with inscriptions "we were killed in Gush Etzion / The Old City / Yad Mordechai". The hedline reads "We lost for having no cannons".
8 pp.
Fair condition, tears, stains and wear.
