Kenneth M. Pollack; formerly a Persian Gulf military analyst at the CIA and Director for Persian Gulf Affairs at the National Security Council; describes and analyzes the military history of the six key Arab states—Egypt; Iraq; Jordan; Libya; Saudi Arabia; and Syria—during the post–World War II era. He shows in detail how each Arab military grew and learned from its own experiences in response to the specific objectives set for it and within often constrained political; economic; and social circumstances. This first-ever overview of the modern Arab approach to warfare provides a better understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the Arab militaries; some of which are the United States’ most likely adversaries; and some of which are our most important allies.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. He has not disappointed me yetBy James Mcgee IIIThis is the third book I have read by Boesak. He has not disappointed me yet. He reminds me that the faith I have is historical and relevant. I continue to reflect on Hope's children; and how needed they are in today's world. The book reminds me that the historical faith of following Jesus can offer hope and engage the world to move from place of discomfort and humiliation to a place of comfort. I have and would readily encourage people to read this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy howard gordonGood book0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
