Description: "The first study to examine psychological warfare in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict, this book presents an analysis of the Arab and Israeli struggles to gain the world's sympathy and support.

The book then traces the history of the psywar struggle in the Arab-Israeli conflict from the British Mandate to the more recent HAMAS abduction of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit"--
