From the end of the Second World War and throughout the era that came to be known as the Cold War, the Middle East was a battleground for Great Power rivalries and constant wars. These were fought between Israelis and Arabs, Arabs and Iranians, Arabs and Arabs and also between regional players and outside powers; the region was also the scene of several intense civil wars and insurgencies. The essays gathered in this volume focus on some of the most important facets of these Middle Eastern conflicts. Following a general introduction, the essays are then organised under three major sections....

From Book's back cover: Shortly after midday on 27 June 2007, a man plummets from his fifth-floor London flat. Did he jump or was he pushed? He is identified as an Egyptian millionaire who has been living in the UK since the early 1980s. His name is Ashraf Marwan. But that is only part of the tale, for Marwan was also an international businessman and arms dealer, married to Mona Abdel Nasser, daughter of the legendary Egyptian President, Gamal Abdel Nasser. A few years before, I blew Marwan's cover, unmasking him as a top spy who had been working for Egypt's biggest enemy - Israel. But there...

From its foundation in 1948, Israel has persuaded key opinion-leaders in the USA and Europe to join in the chorus of its state myth: that Israel, surrounded by aggressor Arab states, sought only peace. However, increasingly a new school of Israeli historians are exposing this view as inaccurate. Trawling through Cabinet minutes, private diaries and interviewing eye-witnesses, the revisionists have shown that from 1948 onward Israel was repeatedly intransigent and that Arab leaders were far more willing to talk peace than is realized. Now, for the first time, it is Israelis telling Israelis...
