The former chief of Israeli intelligence, examining then current Arab attitudes toward Israel, indicates some hope for a Middle East peace, despite continuing Arab hostility and depending upon Israel's responses to Arab demands and proposals. More than half a century later, the conflicts remain unresolved. Yehoshafat Harkabi (born 1921, Haifa; died 26 August 1994, Jerusalem) was chief of Israeli military intelligence from 1955 until 1959 and afterwards a professor of International Relations and Middle East Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Harkabi had a good command of Arabic, a deep knowledge of Arab civilization and history, and a solid understanding of Islam. He developed from an uncompromising hardliner to supporter of a Palestinian state who recognized the PLO as a negotiations partner. In his most well-known work Israel's Fateful Hour, Harkabi described himself as a "Machiavellian dove" intent on searching "for a policy by which Israel can get the best possible settlement of the conflict in the Middle East" (1988, p. xx) - a policy that would include a Zionism "of quality and not of acreage" (p. 225). Harkabi was forced to resign as chief of Military Intelligence as a consequence of the 1959 Night of the Ducks. Following his military career, Harkabi served as a visiting professor at Princeton University and guest scholar at the Brookings Institution. He was Maurice Hexter professor and director of the Leonard Davis Institute of International Relations and Middle East Studies at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. More

Dr. Heilbrunn was educated in Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt Universities from 1924 through 1927. He has been a student of guerrilla warfare since 1952 and, in addition to his books—Communist Guerrilla Warfare (with Brigadier C. A. Dixon), Partisan Warfare, Warfare in the Enemy’s Rear, and Conventional Warfare in the Nuclear Age—he has had many articles on the subject published in military journals. Otto Heilbrunn (born March 7, 1906 in Frankfurt am Main; died January 7, 1969 in Buckinghamshire) was a German-British lawyer and non-fiction author. Otto Heilbrunn attended the Wöhler-Realgymnasium in Frankfurt. From 1924 he studied law in Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt and passed his first legal examination in 1927. He received his doctorate in 1929 at the University of Frankfurt am Main. During the Nazi era, Heilbrunn was removed from office and expelled as a Jew. After WW II, Heilbrunn returned to Germany with the Allies. In 1947/48 he worked for the US occupying forces as a legal assistant at the Nuremberg Trials, was questioned for an affidavit in the I.G. Farben trial and worked for the British occupying forces at the Manstein Trial in 1949. Heilbrunn received British citizenship in the 1950s. He wrote books on guerrilla and guerrilla warfare in English, which were also translated into German. More

Slight wear and soiling to covers. Unconventional warfare has gained in importance along with the increase in range and destructiveness of weapons. It was a particularly potent factor in several theaters of operations during World War II, but in none did it play a more significant role than on the Eastern front during that conflict. There the guerrilla movement behind the Axis forces gained in importance as the Soviet Army withdrew deeper and deeper into its homeland, trading space for time until mobilization could be completed and winter act as an ally. If The Soviet Partisan Movement, 1941-1944 is studied in connection with operational studies of the war on the east European front during World War II, it should prove to be of great value to students of that conflict. It should also prove of particular value to the Army staff and schools and colleges as a reference work in partisan warfare. More

The Complete Story of America's First Wartime Espionage Service, the Forerunner of the CIA. This book details the formation of the OSS--forerunner of the CIA--from its beginnings, when it was described by Radio Berlin as "fifty professors, twenty monkeys, ten goats, twelve guinea pigs and a staff of Jewish scribblers," through its development into an organization which made decisive contributions to the Allied victory. Mr. Hymoff began his career as a reporter at The World-Telegram and Sun in New York City. He covered the Korean War for 15 New England newspapers and for the International News Service, and later worked for CBS. During World War II, Mr. Hymoff served in the Office of Strategic Services, which he made the subject of one of his several books. As an NBC news manager, he helped create "Monitor," the Peabody Award-winning radio program. He was also a consultant to the United States Information Agency, the Voice of America, the Department of Defense and the League of Women Voters, for which he helped produce the 1980 Presidential debates. Earlier, as the communications and public affairs director for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, he developed the satellite broadcasting system used by 500 radio and television stations.
