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. \u003ci\u003eThe Gates of Gaza\u003c\/i\u003e is an extremely important source for the history of Israel and for understanding one of the postwar world's most complex and fascinating crises.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735734878496,"sku":"NEW031210586X","price":98.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61ssj058_eL.jpg?v=1779494029","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-gates-of-gaza-israels-road-to-suez-and-back-1955-57-031210586x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
