Editorial Reviews

A thorough, detailed, and relatively balanced treatment (one exception is the routinely careless use of the concept of terrorism) produced by the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, Tel Aviv U. The authors, both military professionals as well as scholars, cover the major strategic developments in the region and provide a great deal of reference material (including maps, tables, glossaries, chronologies) on weaponry, armed forces, military strategy and political events through June, 1989.
