Reviews
"Recommended for its contribution to a continuing debate over a controversial issue..." -- Choice. "There have been flashier histories of Israel's war of independence, and longer ones, but none as well informed, more sensible and more compelling than Gelber's magisterial account..." -- Middle East Quarterly
"Yoav Gelber's contribution to the literature on 1948 is useful for its detailed chronology of Israel's most significant and triumphal campaign against the Arabs... The book's value lies in its shedding light on the loose alliances unfolding in the Middle East." -- Studies in Contemporary Jewry, Oxford University Press.
