Description: THE ARAB ISRAELI WARS.

As Colonel Barker says in his prologue, 'historical tragedies are not caused by right clashing with wrong: they arise from right clashing with right. This is how it is in the Middle East where the conflict between Israel and the Arab states has been raging since 194$.'How did it begin? Simply that a large number of Jews tried to recreate a state of their own in a land that had been occupied by Arabs for centuries. Hitler's systematic extermination policy lent an added impetus to their efforts, which reached a climax at the very moment when the Arab peoples were beginning to discover their own national destinies. Thus there was a head on clash between Arab and Jewish nationalism in Palestine and the war which has been raging for over 30 years between Israel and her Arab neighbours is the result of this clash.'The Holy Land has in fact been the breeding ground for more violence than any other region on earth. Wars have been waged there since the dawn of Western civilisation, and because Palestine is the birthplace of Christianity and sacred to Islam, bitter hatreds and violent passions have been a feature of them all. But never more so than in the current Arab-Israeli conflict, where both sides regard their rights and claims as self-evident as well as being morally and legally justified.'There have to date been five major Arab Israeli wars, each of which is described and analysed in these pages. With Egypt and Israel now apparently reconciled, is a lasting peace possible in the Middle East or can the five bloody encounters be seen merely as progressive eruptions in a protracted struggle doomed to continue until a final Armageddon?.New Terms 2018 ************************************************************ THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US - WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.

AS OF MAY 14th, 2007, THE US POSTAL SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED INTERNATIONAL MAIL RATES - ALL SURFACE MAIL HAS BEEN DROPPED, THERE WILL ONLY BE TWO CLASSES OF AIR MAIL= PRIORITY OR FIRST CLASS. Due to increasingly higher U.S. postal rates, and the many packages that we have lost or damaged, on International Mail, we now only will ship internationally via E-Bay’s Global shipping program, which goes by courier services. Although expensive, many times they are cheaper than what I could send it for by US Mail – and much more secure. TO ALL INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS - WE SHIP INTERNATIONALLY ONLY THROUGH EBAY’S GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM. EBAY HAS SET UP A SHIPPING HUB IN THE U.S. WHERE WE SHIP YOUR PACKAGE. EBAY THEN SHIPS OUT TO YOU. THE ACTUAL SHIPPING PRICE IS LISTED ON YOUR PAGE, FOR YOUR COUNTRY. WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS PROCESS, EBAY WILL INVOICE YOU AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE PAYMENT. WE CANNOT CHANGE SHIPPING COSTS, WE CANNOT SHIP DIRECTLY TO YOUR COUNTRY. WE CANNOT DECLARE AS A GIFT OR CHANGE THE SHIPPING PRICE. WE CANNOT DECLARE A LOWER SELLING PRICE SINCE THE SALE IS THE RECORD. AT PRESENT EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW US TO COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE ITEMS. Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up. Do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts". U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. ON PAPER BACK BOOKS & MAGAZINES, MANY TIMES WE CAN COMBINE SEVERAL BOOKS AND SAVE POSTAGE IN THE US ONLY. If you have further questions - happy to answer them Please browse our other items and bookmark our site - we constantly add new items. We pack your item extremely carefully so you will receive it in the best condition. This sometimes causes us to be a day or two late in processing orders if we have a good number of sales as we normally only drive to the Post Office on Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Please be patient- we aim to provide the best service we can. We have been in business 50 years. VINTAGE PAPERBACK BOOKS Please be aware that the binding glue in vintage paperbacks is likely to be much drier than newer books, and thus more fragile than more modern printings. Paper also can be sometimes somewhat brittle. All vintage paperbacks require proper & careful care in handling & reading or the spine glue will crack!!. SHIPPING TIMES WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST THESE NEW RATES WILL ACTUALLY BE, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. WE ARE EXPERIENCING 2 – 6 WEEKS AS BEFORE DEPENDING ON THE CLASS OF MAIL USED. Shipments inside the US are also experiencing massive slowdowns, please be patient. Media Sometimes is taking 1 to 4 weeks with no rhyme or reason as to why. IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST THE TIMES STATED ABOVE. PLEASE DO NOT START ASKING WHERE IT IS IN A WEEK OR TWO AND ACCUSE ME OF NOT SENDING THE ITEM - SLOW DELIVERY TIMES BY THE POST OFFICE ARE NOT MY FAULT, PLEASE BE PREPARED TO WAIT THE AVERAGE TIMES I HAVE STATED. ( Due to be budget shortfalls and massive job cuts, and projected closing of many distribution centers, that are being implemented by the US Post Office - we are already seeing delivery times longer than was seen previously – please be patient ) WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS & WE KNOW BY BITTER EXPERIENCE JUST HOW SLOW THE MAIL CAN BE. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING . Bob Ruman
