About this book

Running the Palestine Blockade: The Last Voyage of the Paducah by Patzert, Rudolph W.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781557506795.

As much a tale of moral courage and political intrigue as a swiftly-moving sea adventure, this account by the captain of the Paducah, which ran refugee European Jews into British-protected Palestine before Israeli independence, covers the ships six-month voyage, beginning in May, 1947. Patzert, his crew and the already-weakened exiles endured constant surveillance, uncharted mines, sabotage attempts, and capture during their final run into Palestine, followed by the brutal conditions of internment camp in Cyprus.
