Synopsis

Based on an insider's knowledge of weaponry and actual Israeli and Egyptian battle strategies, this book examines how two of the strongest regional militaries would likely fight a high intensity war in the Middle East. Ehud Eilam examines how the various factors in play the battle for air superiority, air-ground bombardment, armour and infantry collisions would shape the outcome of the conflict, and discusses each factor separately in order to highlight its importance. The analysis draws on previous mainly Arab-Israeli conflicts, and also on the author's twenty years of experience in studying and doing research on Israel's national strategy and military doctrine. Fascinating new issues such as the demilitarisation of the Sinai Peninsula and both armies being largely equipped with US military hardware are looked at. Eilam also examines the variety of confrontations that Israel might face, such as high intensity, hybrid and low intensity wars, and the corresponding responses and strategies it might choose in defence. Essential reading for anyone interested in modern high intensity warfare, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the possible future of the Middle East.
