4.0 out of 5 stars
Good background on the militaries,
By
This review is from: Armed Forces in the Middle East: Politics and Strategy (BESA Studies in International Security) (Paperback)
For those of you interested in military matters in the Middle East, and who is not, these days? A very recent (2002) book that covers the militaries of several countries in the region. A chapter each on Syria, Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Iran. Plus a discussion of US and Russian involvement.Very readable. Though, needless to say, the chapters on the Iraqi army of Saddam Hussein, and on the US, are now outdated. The book was printed in 2002, but the text was written prior to 11 September 2001. So there is little discussion of terrorism/guerilla activity. Don't let this deter you. The book still gives a good briefing on the armies. Useful background for current affairs. |
