Israel's Border Wars, 1949-1956

Focusing on the critical years from 1949 to 1956, this study examines the complexities of Israel-Arab relations, particularly the impact of Arab infiltration and Israeli responses. It highlights the significance of Palestinian refugee raids and cross-border attacks by Egyptian forces, which contributed to Israel's 1956 invasion of Egypt. Enhanced by recently declassified materials from the IDF, this revised edition offers valuable insights into the historical context and ongoing implications for peace in the Middle East.
