"Zbigniew Brezezinski Counselor, Center for Strategic and International Studies Former National Security Adviser"
Middle East analyst Cobban's 'historical case study of how things were in the Israel-Syria theater during the years 1978-1989' was largely completed before Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, but the events of the past year make this book more, rather than less, relevant. . . .
