The uncertain Arab-Israeli peace process has scarcely put an end
to the threat of war in the Middle East. Israel's relations with
its Arab neighbors remain tense, the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction is a problem for the entire region, and the
Israeli-Palestinian fighting that began in September 2000 shows
that the peace process can suddenly become a war process. Renowned
Middle East military expert Anthony Cordesman provides
up-to-the-minute analysis in this richly detailed guide to one of
the most complicated, and dangerous, regions in the world.
Cordesman covers every significant aspect of military and
strategic issues in the region, including conventional forces, arms
transfers, force quality and morale, terrorism, weapons of mass
destruction, the dynamics of specific ongoing conflicts, and the
outcome of possible future conflicts. He carefully weighs the
political factors against what is known about actual military
capabilities to shed light on the range of strategic options likely
to be considered by each of the major regional actors, including
Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and the Palestinian
Authority. He finds no easy answers, concluding that while the
balance of conventional forces has stabilized significantly in
recent years, the risks from unconventional warfare have escalated
considerably and that any major new peace agreement is likely to
unleash a whole new set of military concerns that have the
potential to disrupt diplomatic agreements. Always mindful of the
complexities of the region, "Peace and War" is the definitive guide
to strategic developments in this vital part of the world.
