NO OF PAGES: 403 SUB CAT I: Arab-Israeli Conflict SUB CAT II: Jewish Wars SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Chaim Herzog, now President of Israel, has been involved in every war in Palestine and later Israel since he joined the Haganah as a teenager. He was a major general in the Israeli army and served as his country's Ambassador to the United Nations. In this invaluable book he tells the story of Israel's fight since 1947 to preserve her existence against the repeated attacks of neighboring Arab nations. He vividly describes each campaign of the four major wars and analyzes the "war of attrition" between 1967 and 1970 in which Israelis and Egyptians tested American and Soviet weapons against each other and tells the story of the heroic raid on Entebbe. His authoritative account of Israel's 1982 advance into Lebanon has been updated for this edition. "The Arab-Israeli Wars" not only tells the story of Israel's struggle to survive but gives a vivid picture of the people and politics that continue to shape the destiny of the Middle East.NOTES: Purchased at Good Will Industries SUBTITLE: War and Peace in the Middle East from the War of Independence through Lebanon aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Références à cette œuvre sur des ressources externes. Wikipédia en anglais (23)Israel was born in battle. No sooner had independence been declared than seven Arab armies invaded the tiny, nascent state -- bent on its destruction. The tragedy of the Middle East had begun. This book tells the story of Israel's epic struggle to survive, through the vicissitudes, mistakes, triumphs and tragedies of four wars. It provides a blow-by-blow account of one of history's most bitter and enduring conflicts -- Arab versus Jew. As well as describing each campaign in absorbing and incisive fasion -- replete with desperate defensive actions against massive odds in isolated settlements, high-speed armored battles and breath-taking strategy, with the human elements of daring and self-sacrifice -- Herzog highlights the personal and political struggles that have determined the course of Middle East history. - Jacket flap.
