Summary:

During the twentieth century, Israel has achieved notoriety, witnessing almost constant conflict and violence. This book is a masterly account 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, through Israel's wars with its Arab neighbours, to the "Al-Aqsa Intifada, this book unearths new insights and exposes unknown facts for the first time. It reveals secrets relating to the Soviets' involvement in inciting the June 1967 Six Day War, the Israeli bombing of the American USS Liberty, President Sadat's right-hand man, who was a top agent of Mossad and the Israeli assassinations of leading Palestinians during the "Al-Aqsa Intifada.
