Israeli Soldier Vs Syrian Soldier

Each army believes its soldiers to be the best and historians find themselves in the middle, as they assess each on its own merit.

The ultimate way of deciding which is best is to pit them against one another in battle. In the late-1960s and early-1970s, the eyes of the world turned to the wars between Israel and its Arab neighbours, including Egypt and Lebanon. This title focuses on the Syrian and Israeli soldier between 1967 and 1973 and the Golan Heights in particular. The weaponry, vehicles, equipment and training are all assessed, dissected and summarised. A mixture of weapons supplied by America and other weapons produced in Israel were used against Soviet-produced weapons. It is the men who used them which give the most startling results in this analysis. Great read at all levels and interesting too for modellers and war gamers.
