The Arab-Israeli Conflict
Essential Histories: War and Conflict in Modern Times
This book discusses the origins of this military encounter and traces its route through two stages: the guerrilla warfare between the Arab and Jewish communities of Palestine and the conventional interstate war between the state of Israel and the invading Arab armies. It looks at the participants, their war aims, their strategies, and their combat performance.

Series Review: Essential Histories: War and Conflict in Modern Times"Clearly written for a high school audience, the hooks provide an in-depth look at politics, battles, and strategies. Gulf War, for example, covers not only important individual battles, but also discusses why a full-scale invasion was not completed, and provides an understanding of how the events of that war led to the current invasion of Iraq. The texts offer civilian perspectives on the action as well as detailed insight into the motivations, events, and outcomes of the wars."
