Besides the military account, it also focuses on the war's political dimensions. Historian Morris probes the motives and aims of the protagonists on the basis of newly opened Israeli and Western documentation. The Arab side--where the archives are still closed--is illuminated with the help of intelligence and diplomatic materials. Morris stresses the jihadi character of the two-stage Arab assault on the Jewish community in Palestine. He examines the dialectic between the war's military and political developments and highlights the military impetus in the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem. He looks both at high politics and general staff decision-making and at the nitty-gritty of combat in the battles that resulted in the emergence of the State of Israel and the humiliation of the Arab world--a humiliation that underlies the continued Arab antagonism toward Israel.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Israel-Arab War, 1948-1949. 651 0 $a Palestine $x History, Military $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Palestine $x Politics and government $y 1917-1948. 651 0 $a Palestine $x History $y 1917-1948. 610 20 $a Haganah (Organization) $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Israel $x History, Military $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Israel $x Politics and government $y 1948-1967. 650 0 $a Israel $x History $y 1948-1967. 651 0 $a Israel $x Foreign relations $z Arab countries. 651 0 $a Arab countries $x Foreign relations $z Israel. 610 26 $a Haganah. 650 6 $a Guerre israeÌlo-arabe, 1948-1949. 651 6 $a IsraeÌl $x Histoire $y 1948-1967. 651 6 $a Palestine $x Histoire militaire $y 20e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a Palestine $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1917-1948. 651 6 $a Palestine $x Histoire $y 1917-1948. 651 6 $a IsraeÌl $x Histoire militaire $y 20e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a IsraeÌl $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1948-1967. 651 6 $a IsraeÌl $x Relations exteÌrieures $z EÌtats arabes. 651 6 $a EÌtats arabes $x Relations exteÌrieures $z IsraeÌl. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0722/2007027380.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0828/2007027380-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0828/2007027380-d.html 941 $a 10 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724064057.0 952 $l JJPA194 $d 20220204010354.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528042128.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044026.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926091320.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171221041747.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824045034.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20100503131001.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9DCD0B66BF211DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
