Motti Golani

Opis

This book sheds a great deal of new light not just on the war itself but on related subjects such as civilmilitary relations in Israel, the policy-making process in defence and foreign affairs, the extraordinary influence exerted by chief of staff Moshe Dayan in pushing Israel into war, and the collusion with Britain and France which preceded the attack on Egypt. From the Foreword by Avi Shlaim, St Antony's College, Oxford Highly recommended for college and larger public libraries. Choice Golani effectively demolishes Israel s official version that the war with Egypt in 1956 was inevitable because of Arab hostility. Golani serves up a rich feast of archival discoveries.
