Endorsements
This is a comprehensive book about the relationship between Israel and the superpowers which led to two wars. It makes an original contribution to cold war scholarship and to Middle East history by fusing them. The Arab-Israeli conflict cannot be understood without the larger picture of the cold war. It demonstrates how America failed to defuse the regional conflict because it underrated the basic assumption that at heart it was a zero-sum-game conflict, while the Soviets did their best to inflame the conflict without considering the imbalance of benefits and damages. Both patrons, America and the Soviet Union were reluctant to adopt full scale responsibility for the long-term implications of their clients behaviour. They were anxious lest the conflict develop into a battle zone like Korea, Taiwan, Cuba or Germany. This book will be of interest to both students and scholars in International Relations and political history, but also the general reader as it provides a wide perspective of both Israel and the Arab countries and their interaction with the superpowers. It can easily be used as a textbook as it collates information from hundreds of sources, many of which are unavailable to the general public.
