Description

Explore the complex history of Israeli-Arab relations during the formative years between 1949 and 1956. This scholarly work by Benny Morris examines the period of intense border conflict, focusing on the cycle of Arab infiltration and Israeli retaliation. Readers will gain a detailed understanding of how Palestinian refugee raiding and cross-border attacks by Egyptian-controlled irregulars and commandos shaped the region. The text traces these events as a primary cause leading to the 1956 invasion of the Sinai and Gaza Strip, part of the larger Anglo-French-Israeli military action in Egypt. By investigating the different types of infiltration and the specific attitudes held by Arab governments toward these movements, this book provides a clear historical account of the countdown to the Suez War. It is an essential resource for those studying military history and the evolution of Middle Eastern conflict during this era.
