Book Synopsis The Modern Middle East by : Mehran Kamrava
Download or read book The Modern Middle East written by Mehran Kamrava and published by Chatham House Publishers. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As potential war with Iraq looms and the Palestinian-Israeli crisis escalates, our need for expert knowledge and opinion about the Middle East could not be greater. This timely political history of the modern Middle East begins with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and takes us right up to current events. Kamrava lays out the historical context of the Middle East of today - the rise and fall of the Ottomans; the trials of independence and state-building; the emergence and fiery spread of nationalism throughout the Middle East; the Arab-Israeli wars in 1967 and 1973; the Iranian revolution of 1978-79; and the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War; and the Gulf War and its aftermath. The profound consequences of these events on contemporary politics in the Middle East are discussed in full, especially in regards to the overall nature of state-society relations within each country and intra-state relations between countries. In addition, three of the most important current political issues of the region are discussed separately"" the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the challenges to economic development, and the question of democracy. The book ends with an evaluation of the most important challenges the Middle East is facing at the present time and is likely to face in the coming decades.

Book Synopsis The Contemporary Middle Eastern Scene by : Gustav Stein
Download or read book The Contemporary Middle Eastern Scene written by Gustav Stein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions to this volume are based on papers read at an international confer ence held in Hamburg in May 1978. Some of them are reprinted in their original form, others have been slightly modified in order to incorporate more recent findings. Since the overall concern is Middle Eastern development the various contributions deal with a wide range of problems. Studies on the Middle East are more often than not one-sided because of the pre dominating interest in the Arab-Israeli conflict and the economic factors relating to the supply of oil. At the Hamburg Conference, however, the participants concentrated main lyon examining such aspects of the situation as are far too often relegated to the side lines. In order to illustrate what those neglected topics are one should refer to two major examples: 1) the religio-cultural identity of Arabs and Israelis, 2) the tackling of political issues in Arab and Israeli literature.
Book Synopsis The 1973 Arab-Israeli War: The Albatross Of Decisive Victory [Illustrated Edition] by : Dr. George W. Gawrych
Download or read book The 1973 Arab-Israeli War: The Albatross Of Decisive Victory [Illustrated Edition] written by Dr. George W. Gawrych and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes 8 maps and more than 20 illustrations Armies appear to learn more from defeat than victory. In this regard, armed forces that win quickly, decisively, and with relative ease face a unique challenge in attempting to learn from victory. The Israel Defense Forces certainly fell into this category after their dramatic victory over the combined armies of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in the Six Day War of June 1967. This study analyzes the problems that beset Israel in the aftermath of its decisive victory in the Six Day War over the Arabs. In the 1973 War, Anwar Sadat, Egypt’s president, was able to exploit Israeli vulnerabilities to achieve political success through a limited war. An important lesson emerges from this conflict. A weaker adversary can match his strengths against the weaknesses of a superior foe in a conventional conflict to attain strategic success. Such a strategic triumph for the weaker adversary can occur despite serious difficulties in operational and tactical performance. The author suggests a striking parallel between the military triumphs of Israel in 1967 and the United States in 1991. In both cases, success led to high expectations. The public and the armed forces came to expect a quick and decisive victory with few casualties. In this environment, a politically astute opponent can exploit military vulnerabilities to his strategic advantage. Sadat offers a compelling example of how this can be done.

Book Synopsis 1973 - the First Nuclear War by : Tom Cooper
Download or read book 1973 - the First Nuclear War written by Tom Cooper and published by Middle East@War. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of narratives about the October 1973 Arab-Israeli War stress that air power did not play a dominant role. The deployment of strong, well-integrated air defenses by Egypt and Syria, that caused heavy losses to the Israeli air force early during that conflict, not only spoiled Israel's prewar planning, but prevented it from providing support for Israeli ground forces too. A cross-examination of interviews with dozens of Egyptian participants in that conflict, contemporary reporting in the media, and also intelligence reports, offers an entirely different picture. Accordingly, for much of that war, the Israelis flew heavy air strikes on Port Said, on the northern entry to the Suez Canal. Furthermore, they repeatedly attacked two major Egyptian air bases in the Nile Delta - el-Mansourah and Tanta - in turn causing some of the biggest air battles of this war. Indeed, in Egypt, the response to these attacks reached the level of legend: the supposed repelling of an Israeli air strike on el-Mansourah, on 14 October 1973, prompted Cairo to declare not only a massive victory, but also that date for the day of its air force. However, the actual reasons for Israeli air strikes on Port Said, el-Mansourah and Tanta remain unclear to this day: there are no Israeli publications offering a sensible explanation, and there are no Egyptian publications explaining the reasoning. Only a cross-examination of additional reporting provides a possible solution: el-Mansourah was also the base of the only Egyptian unit equipped with R-17E ballistic missiles, known as the SS-1 Scud in the West. As of October 1973, these missiles were the only weapon in Egyptian hands capable of reaching central Israel - and that only if fired from the area around Port Said. While apparently unimportant in the overall context, this fact gains immensely in importance considering reports from the US intelligence services about the possible deployment of Soviet nuclear warheads to Egypt in October 1973. Discussing all the available information, strategy, tactics, equipment and related combat operations of both sides, '1973: the First Nuclear War' provides an in-depth insight into the Israeli efforts to prevent the deployment of Egyptian Scud missiles - whether armed with Soviet nuclear warheads or not - in the Port Said area: an effort that dictated a lengthy segment of the application of air power during the October 1973 Arab-Israeli war, and resulted in some of the most spectacular air-to-air and air-to-ground battles of that conflict. Illustrated by over 100 photographs, a dozen maps and 18 color profiles, this book thus offers an entirely new thesis about crucial, but previously unknown factors that determined the flow of the aerial warfare in October 1973.
