THE HISTORY OF MIDDLE EAST WARS
Westwood, John
2002 20413 The Middle East Wars have been remarkable also for the evidence they have given of the progress of military technology and the test ground they have provided for the weapons of the superpowers. In 1973, for example, the early success of the Egyptian surface-to-air and antitank missiles led many commentators to talk of revolutionary changes in the conduct of war. In 1991, television showed the amazing accuracy achieved by modern precision-guided weapons in the Gulf; in 2001, the conflict in Afghanistan further revealed the power of 'smart' bombs. The actions in this and all the other conflicts are excitingly described by J.N. Westwood, who discusses the development of the various armed forces involved and assesses the effectiveness of their organization and weaponry. The current state of unrest in the Middle East and the terrible repercussions it continues to have around the world serve to emphasize the topicality and importance of this fascinating book.
