Never-Ending Conflict: Israeli Military History (Stackpole Military History)

This is the story of the tragic confrontation between two national movements contesting the same small piece of land, a clash that has become one of the most intractable issues in modern times. From the 1936 Palestinian Revolt to the Intifada that started in 2000, the Arabs and Israelis have clashed in twelve major incidents, often embroiling much of the Middle East. Here, historians deftly examine each conflict, offering a readable and informative look at seventy years of Israeli military history. Includes a chapter by Michael Oren, author of the bestseller, Six Days of War.
