Israels Wars A History Since 1947 by Ahron Bregman

Israel's Wars is a fascinating and essential insight into the bloody conflicts and turbulent history of this troubled country. During the twentieth century, Israel has achieved notoriety, witnessing almost constant violence. This book is a masterly account of Israel's wars with the Palestinians and the Arabs.
From the 1947-48 Jewish-Palestinian struggle for the possession and mastery of the land of Palestine to the ongoing Al-Aqsa Intifada, this book exposes hitherto unknown facts, including secrets relating to the Soviet's involvement in inciting the June 1967 Six Day War, the Israeli bombing of the American USS Liberty, President Anwar Sadat's right-hand man, who was a top agent of the Mossad, and Israeli assassinations of leading Palestinians during the Al-Aqsa Intifada.
