Chaim Herzog ; updated by Shlomo Gazit ; introduction by Isaac Herzog and Michael Herzog

"Chaim Herzog, former President of Israel, was involved in every conflict embroiling Israel and its Arab neighbors from before the 1948 War of Independence. The Arab-Israeli Wars is Herzog's acclaimed history of Israel's fight since 1947 to preserve her existence against repeated attacks. Revised after his death by friend and colleague General Shlomo Gazit, this new edition also covers the events of the past twenty years, including the pullout from Lebanon, both intifadas, the first Gulf War, the Oslo process, and beyond. This account not only tells the story of Israel's struggle to survive but also gives a clear picture of the people and politics that continue to shape the destiny of this crucial region."--Jacket
