His book, The Arab-Israeli Wars, provides a detailed history of Israel's fight for survival against repeated attacks since 1947. Revised posthumously by General Shlomo Gazit, the latest edition also covers events of the past twenty years, including the Lebanon pullout, intifadas, first Gulf War, Oslo process, and more. This comprehensive account offers insight into the people and politics shaping the region's destiny.
