For three years following Israel's victory in the Six-Day War,
Egypt, with a massive infusion of weaponry from the Soviet Union,
continued to do battle with Israel in what became known as the War
of Attrition. The history of these years holds the key to
understanding the Arab-Israeli conflict today. In this book, David
A. Korn offers a detailed insider's account of the first-and, until
recently, the only-U.S.-Soviet cooperative effort to bring peace to
the Middle East and an explanation of the origin of the "land for
peace" formula. He relates a fascinating story of political
intrigue in Washington and Jerusalem that stymied the efforts of
peacemakers; of Egypt's massing a huge army along the west bank of
the Suez Canal; and of Israel's desperate search for a strategy to
hold the east bank with a token force and minimal losses. He also
describes the incredible miscalculation that nearly plunged Israel
into war with the Soviet Union and the great heroism on both sides
of the Suez line. This book fills a large gap in the history of the
conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors and is the first to
analyze war and diplomacy in the Middle East during the critical
years of 1967-1970 from the Egyptian as well as the Israeli point
of view. To both, Korn brings penetrating insights based on a
wealth of materials never before published. It is a gripping story
by a writer who had a grandstand seat on the line.
