description
Yasir Arafat stands as one of the most resilient, recognizable and controversial political figures of modern times. The object of unrelenting suspicion, steady admiration and endless speculation, Arafat has occupied the center stage of Middle East politics for almost four decades. Yasir Arafat is the most comprehensive political biography of this remarkable man.
Forged in a tumultuous era of competing traditionalism, radicalism, Arab nationalism, and Islamist forces, the Palestinian movement was almost entirely Arafat's creation, and he became its leader at an early age. Arafat took it through a dizzying series of crises and defeats, often of his own making, yet also ensured that it survived, grew, and gained influence. Disavowing terrorism repeatedly, he also practiced it constantly. Arafat's elusive behavior ensured that radical regimes saw in him a comrade in arms, while moderates backed him as a potential partner in peace.
After years of devotion to armed struggl

Meanwhile, the earlier expectations by some analysts that the new "hi-tech" military systems could be operated by poorer quality manpower, i.e., uneducated troops, are said not to have panned out Indeed, the military gap between Israel and Syria is thought to be widening at the dawning of the age of "hitech" warfare, exacerbated by declined Soviet support for Syria to the extent not compensated for by Western Europe. Despite the excellence and comprehensiveness of the book, the authors might have done just a little more. Specifically, they might have added a summary chapter to integrate the material on new weapons developments with the early-on materialregardingIsrael's strategic dilemma, rooted as it is in demographics and the military geography of the Golan-Damascus axis. No doubt the advent of the "hi-tech" battlefield anticipated by the authors would greatly advanta
