Media Reviews
'This is the classic account of one of the great conflicts of the late 20th Century, brilliantly told by Herzog and magisterially updated by Gazit to make it the most authoritative, topical and compellingly readable history of the Arab-Israeli wars' - Simon Sebag Montefiore 'The best single volume history of the Middle East' - Drew Middleton in The New York Times 'Masterly and all-embracing' - John Keegan in The Sunday Times 'No author is better qualified to write this book than General Herzog' - The Economist
Author Bio
Chaim Herzog, former President of Israel, had the advantage of personally knowing the generals and politicians who have worked to ensure the state's survival against seemingly overwhelming odds. His story is told with the authority of first-hand information, by a soldier-statesman with a unique understanding of the problems and factors at play in the Middle East. This edition has been revised and updated by General Shlomo Gazit to make it complete and up-to-date.
