Rezension zu „Fortress Israel “
"[A] readable and informative new history . . . timely." --"The Economist" "[A] revealing chronicle of Israeli foreign and defense policy . . . Tyler's well-researched account illuminates an ugly and troubling dimension of Israeli policy and politics." --"Publishers Weekly ""Tyler presents a sharp critique of the close relationship between the Israeli government and the officer corps of the Israeli military . . .

"Fortress Israel "is essential reading for students of the Middle East." --Howell Raines, former executive editor of "The New York Times ""With "Fortress Israel," Patrick Tyler takes his place in the first rank of historians o
