"Battleground" is one of the best written and most informative histories of the Arab-Israeli conflict. ... I advise everyone to read it. - Congressman Jack Kemp

Reading "Battleground" is an eye-opener. It is well written, informative, fast-paced and debunks some carefully cultivated myths concerning Israel and the Middle East. - Former US Ambassador to the United Nations, Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick

This fully documented, dramatic history of the turbulent events which have shaped the crisis in the Middle East is, in its way, just as applicable to the war that exists today between Islamic extremists and the rest of the world.

Every key problem, conflict and decision in Israel's past and in the current era is carefully analyzed, from the questionable policies of the British in 1948 to current explosive issues such as the return of territory won in the Six-Day war of 1967, the terrorist war of attrition that spills over to the rest of the world, and the Muslim fanaticism and accompanying terrorist activities that take this conflict far beyond Israel's borders and prove that it is a Holy War that these extremists are fighting.

Recent worldwide events replicate, on a vastly expanded scale, the activities of Islamic extremists who have functioned in Israel since before it was founded and to the present, and demonstrate that the extremists ambitions for conquest go far beyond the Middle East

This book is as timely today as when it was first published in the 1970s. It is, in its way, a primer for our age.
