Arab Armies of the Middle East Wars (2) by Sam Katz

Arab Armies of the Middle East Wars (2) by Sam Katz

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.

Sam Katz was born in 1963, and joined the Israeli Defence Forces in 1981. He served in a dual capacity in the HEYL HAYAM during the conflict in Lebanon in 1982. He is the author of several books and articles on the IDF and related Middle Eastern topics. His particular interest lies in the development of IDF elite and counter-terrorist units. Sam is recognized world wide as an expert on this subject.

Ronald Volstad was born in 1949 in Alberta, Canada, where he still lives and works. His first illustrations were published in 1970; since then he has become widely known for his work in Squadron and Osprey publications and for Dragon Models, and has also worked as a courtroom artist for TV news.
