| Content: |
Israel's Nuclear Programme, the Six Day War and its Ramifications offers a bold reinterpretation of the course of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Drawing on a wealth of Israeli, American, and European sources, and set in the historical context of Israel's security dilemmas from its founding in 1948, this work challenges many of the accepted ideas relating to both Israel's nuclear programme and the 1967 Six Day War.

| Opening: |
The basic premises of Israel`s security policy were born in the late 20s, when Arab acts of violence against Jewish settlers in Palestine assumed real significance, to be followed by the Palestinian rebellion of 1937-1939 against the British and Jewish settlements in Palestine.
(Shlomo Aronson: Israel`s Nuclear Programme, the Six Day War and its Ramifications, page 5)

| Content: |
A collection of lectures that Colonel Hasdai delivered to his soldiers in the years 1971-1978 and of letters he wrote during 1974-1978. He analyzes the Israel Defence Forces' internal condition as he experienced it during his twenty-two years of service; considers the processes at work in Israeli society in that period; shows the connection between them and indicates how they manifested themselves in the way Israel conducted the Yom Kippur War. He also analyzes the historic partnership between the Jewish State and the Jews of the world and Israel's standing in the world in general. Translated from the Hebrew.

| Opening: |
Before the Yom Kippur War, I held a series of posts in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) that enabled me to gain a first-hand acquaintance with many facets of army life. In the war itself, I held a number of posts that enabled me at first to observe how the higher echelons were directing the war and then to see how it was being conducted on the battlefield itself.

She looked in her late twenties and stood silent beside a quietly dressed young man who had flown this far with her abroad Singapore Airlines Flight 763 from Bahrain. The pair were ticketed as Mrs. Ortega and Mr. Garcia.

Sleep always brought him back to that same cramped room in Jenin. Somehow, the entire platoon had crammed into that tiny apartment. They nailed carpets over the open windows, plunging the hideout into total darkness. The carpets afforded little protection against grenades or makeshift bombs, but kept them out of sights of enemy snipers.

The authors portray Wingate's eccentric and combative personality and his equally remarkable, although short, career at arms. This biography covers Wingate's campaigns against the Japanese in Burma in World War II, battle against the Italians in Ethiopia, and role in developing a Zionist army in Palestine. In both his personal and military life, Wingate often employed unconventional tactics, for which he was both despised and praised.

| Opening: |
Orde Charles Wingate entered the world as he left it, amid a flurry of urgent telegrams.
His mother's confinement and labor were fast and easy, as routine and unremarkable a business in its way as the flight from Imphal to Hailakandi should have been. But just as the doctor was leaving the house where he had delivered "an unusually fine large baby weighing nine pounds," a cry of alarm from the nurse brought him back.
