Description
The Six-Day War drastically altered the political and military complexion of the Middle East: three Arab armies lay in ruin, while Israel became a regional giant.
The Arab response to defeat was a desire to fight back, and the process of regrouping to launch the 1973 war was the nearest the Arab world would come to true unity. This book examines the post-1973 development of the armies of Egypt, Jordan and Syria, as well as the Palestinian guerrilla groups.
Backed by photographs and colour illustrations, this book also details the special military and political roles of the armies' elite units.
