Count Bernadotte

7.10: COUNT BERNADOTTE

A diplomat for the fledgling United Nations, Folke Bernadotte was sent to Palestine to broker a ceasefire and attempt to establish a peace deal in the conflict zone. With the competing interests of the British Empire, various Zionist groups, the native Palestinian population, and neighboring Arab states, the task was well-nigh impossible. But one group was determined to ensure, by the ultimate means, that the Swedish nobleman would not live to pursue his mission.
