The Suez crisis brought about both a humiliation for the old imperial powers and a remarkable victory for Israel. Mordechai Bar-On was General Moshe Dayan's personal assistant during the Suez campaign and has drawn on both his own diary and many years of research to produce a gripping, definitive account of the Israeli side to the war. The Gates of Gaza describes the fears, suspicions and agonizing debates that resulted in Ben-Gurion's decision to enter the clandestine pact with France and Britain, the military victory in the Sinai, and the subsequent withdrawal in the face of pressure from the United Nations. What was at the time a frustrating conflict for Israel should now be seen, in Dr Bar-On's view, as a crucial event in securing the new nation's position in the Middle East and providing a breathing space before the great Arab challenge of 1967.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmGenre: HistoryItem Weight: 1.5 poundsgISBN-10: 031210586XTopic: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 1994 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
