Greenwood Publishing Group : Arab-Israeli Military Forces in an Era of Asymmetric Wars

Reviews:

-As with all of his publications on Middle Eastern military matters, the real strength of Cordesman's book is the vast amount of micro-level details he provides on the military capabilities of each actor. This is a reference work full of facts and figures, clearly designed with military analysts in mind. —Journal of Palestine Studies

-Cordesman summarizes the overall balance of military forces in the Middle East. Covering Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, he reports on each state's military force structures, material, and personnel; describes arms exports and imports; and reviews strategic, operational, and tactical doctrines. Where applicable, he also discusses similar information for significant non-state militia forces, such as Hamas in Palestine and Hezbollah in Lebanon. —Reference & Research Book News

-Anthony Cordesman here does what he does best. In his latest of a long series of books on the Middle East, Arab-Israel Military Forces in Asymmetric Warfare, he evaluates the military forces of Israel and its surrounding Arab neighbors with particular emphasis on unconventional warfare, or what is now called asymmetric warfare, meaning war where one side mingles with the civilian population causing moral confusion to the enemy. His book consists of an overview along with a segment for each of the countries involved. His findings are what most of us have already surmised: that in a conventional army-to-army war, Israel will triumph. He gives us detailed proof as to why, and as we learn more about their armies, we get a better understanding of each of the countries....Mr. Cordesman simply reports the facts with masses of corroborating detail and leaves moral judgments to others. We need not ask for more. —The Washington Times
