The secret alliance between Israel, Britain, and France to destroy
Nasser's rule in Egypt was a pivotal event in the history of the
modern Middle East. The Suez crisis brought about both a
humiliation for the old imperial powers and a remarkable victory
for Israel. Mordechai Bar-On was General Moshe Dayan's personal
assistant during the Suez Campaign and has drawn on both his own
diary and many years of research to produce a gripping, definitive
account of the Israeli side to the war. The Gates of Gaza describes
the fears, suspicions, and agonizing debates that resulted in
Ben-Gurion's decision to enter the clandestine pact, the
overwhelming military victory in the Sinai, and subsequent
withdrawal in the face of pressure from the United Nations. What
was at the time a frustrating conflict for Israel should now be
seen, in Dr. Bar-On's view, as a crucial event in securing the new
nation's position in the Middle East and providing a breathing
space before the great Arab challenge of 1967. The Gates of Gaza is
an extremely important source for the history of Israel and for
understanding one of the postwar world's most complex and
fascinating crises.
