Reviews
His best yet: a fast paced thriller, pulsing with suspense, that surpasses even the expertly handled tensions and twists of Fatherland , "An extremely valuable, compendious, and convincing military history of the contemporary Arab world, making this book a standard work of reference."- Foreign Affairs, "Pollack achieves the dual purpose of analyzing the factors that have consistently hindered these armed forces and providing a robust assessment of their strengths and weaknesses during various battles. Since the experiences of these forces continue to shape military action around the world, this important overview belongs in all military research libraries and larger university libraries." Library Journal (October 2002) "Ken Pollack's critical analysis of the Arab military is comprehensive and illuminating. A masterful, much needed and timely work of practical scholarship." -Lt. Gen. Bernard E. Trainor, USMC (Ret.) Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations. "An important reference for anyone working on the history of the Middle East, regional security studies, and military and arms control analysis." Anthony H. Cordesman, author ofPeace and War: The Arab-Israeli Military Balance Enters the 21st CenturyandIran's Military Forces in Transition: Conventional Threats and Weapons of Mass Destruction"classic study." Fareed Zakaria's "World View" column in the April 7 issue of Newswee, "An extremely valuable, compendious, and convincing military history of the contemporary Arab world, making this book a standard work of reference."Foreign Affairs, "An extremely valuable, compendious, and convincing military history of the contemporary Arab world, making this book a standard work of reference."-Foreign Affairs, "An extremely valuable, compendious, and convincing military history of the contemporary Arab world, making this book a standard work of reference."

Synopsis
Kenneth M. Pollack, formerly a Persian Gulf military analyst at the CIA and Director for Persian Gulf Affairs at the National Security Council, describes and analyzes the military history of the six key Arab states--Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Syria--during the post-World War II era. He shows in detail how each Arab military grew and learned from its own experiences in response to the specific objectives set for it and within often constrained political, economic, and social circumstances. This first-ever overview of the modern Arab approach to warfare provides a better understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the Arab militaries, some of which are the United States' most likely adversaries, and some of which are our most important allies.
