What did Wikipedia remove from the The Revolt article?

The opening as it read in 2015

The Revolt (also published as Revolt , The Revolt: Inside Story of the Irgun and The Revolt: the Dramatic Inside Story of the Irgun ) is a book about the militant Zionist organization Irgun Zvai Leumi , by one of its principal leaders, Menachem Begin . In Israel, the organization is commonly called Etzel, based on its Hebrew acronym.¹ The book traces the development of the Irgun from its early days in the 1930s, through its years of violent struggle in the Palestine Mandate against both British rule (the "revolt" of the title) and Arab opposition, to the outbreak of the Israeli War of Independence in 1948. The book is also part autobiographical, tracing Begin's own political development. First published in English in 1951, the book has gone through many editions and reprints, with the latest edition published in 2002. The political scientist John Bowyer Bell who studied both the Irgun and the Irish Republican Army recalled that many of the IRA men whom he interviewed in the 1960s had read The Revolt and admired it as a manual of guerrilla warfare. (He would later get to know IRA men who studied Menachem Begin's memoir The Revolt as a manual of guerrilla warfare.)" Rocker, Simon (2012-05-17).²
