Israel's Wars, 1947–1993 is a fascinating overview of Israel's wars with the Palestinians and the Arabs. From the 1947–8 Jewish-Palestinian struggle for the possession and mastery of the land of Palestine to the Intifada between 1987–1993, this book also examines Israel's conflicts with its Arab neighbours, Egypt, Jordan, Syria and the PLO in Lebanon.
Israel's Wars analyzes the effect of the wars on the people of Israel. In 1947 with the Holocaust very fresh in their memories, the Israelis demonstrated a great willingness to support and carry the burden of war – high taxes, long military service and fighting in the wars themselves. This book questions why from the late 1960s the Israelis became more critical of their leadership to domestic problems created by the expense of war.

Review:
From the Author:
'The authors analysis of these conflicts is illuminating and timely.' – Jewish Chronicle
'A significant contribution to the controversy.' – Middle East Studies Associated Bulletin
From the Preface:
"The book also contains new - never before published - material. Perhaps most notable is the revelation that Anwar Sadat's right-hand man (who also worked for Sadat's predecessor President Nasser as confidante and member of his presidential staff) was an agent of Mossad, Israel's secret service. I expose, for the first time, the documents he passed to the Israelis which became the foundation of Israel's strategy before the Yom Kippur War (`The Conception') and claim that from being an agent working exclusively for Mossad, he later became a double agent and worked for Sadat, who sent him, on the eve of the Yom Kippur War, to meet the head of Mossad in London and to mislead him regarding the time Egypt would open fire".
