Описание: The majority of narratives about the October 1973 Arab-Israeli War stress that air power did not play a dominant role. The deployment of strong, well-integrated air defences by Egypt and Syria, that caused heavy losses to the Israeli air force early during that conflict, not only spoiled Israel’s pre-war planning, but prevented it from providing support for Israeli ground forces too. A cross-examination of interviews with dozens of Egyptian participants in that conflict, contemporary reporting in the media, and also intelligence reports, offers an entirely different picture. Accordingly, for much of that war, the Israelis flew heavy air strikes on Port Said, on the northern entry to the Suez Canal. Furthermore, they repeatedly attacked two major Egyptian air bases in the Nile Delta – el-Mansourah and Tanta – in turn causing some of the biggest air battles of this war. Indeed, in Egypt, the response to these attacks reached the level of legend: the supposed repelling of an Israeli air strike on el-Mansourah, on 14 October 1973, prompted Cairo to declare not only a massive victory, but also that date for the day of its air force. However, the actual reasons for Israeli air strikes on Port Said, el-Mansourah and Tanta remain unclear to this day: there are no Israeli publications offering a sensible explanation, and there are no Egyptian publications explaining the reasoning. Only a cross-examination of additional reporting provides a possible solution: el-Mansourah was also the base of the only Egyptian unit equipped with R-17E ballistic missiles, known as the SS-1 Scud in the West. As of October 1973, these missiles were the only weapon in Egyptian hands capable of reaching central Israel – and that only if fired from the area around Port Said. While apparently unimportant in the overall context, this fact gains immensely in importance considering reports from the US intelligence services about the possible deployment of Soviet nuclear warheads to Egypt in October 1973. Discussing all the available information, strategy, tactics, equipment and related combat operations of both sides, ‘1973: the First Nuclear War’ provides an in-depth insight into the Israeli efforts to prevent the deployment of Egyptian Scud missiles – whether armed with Soviet nuclear warheads or not – in the Port Said area: an effort that dictated a lengthy segment of the application of air power during the October 1973 Arab-Israeli war, and resulted in some of the most spectacular air-to-air and air-to-ground battles of that conflict. Illustrated by over 100 photographs, a dozen maps and 18 colour profiles, this book thus offers an entirely new thesis about crucial, but previously unknown factors that determined the flow of the aerial warfare in October 1973.

Описание: English Description: This book presents a multidisciplinary study on the history of Byblos based on the exploration and comparison of different kinds of sources. The author divides the history of Byblos into four main periods. Between the end of the second millennium and the middle of the 9th century, Byblos, which continues to maintain its privileged ties with Egypt, enjoyed a certain independence which allowed it to develop and maintain relations with the inhabitants of Huelva in Spain. However, between 853 and 610, Byblos, and because of the Assyrian conquests, not only lost its independence, but it was forced to give allegiance to the Assyrian rulers by paying tribes. This situation has not changed during the Babylonian epoch, which lasted less than a century. During the Persian era (539-333), Byblos, which was part of the province of Transeuphratene, rebuilt its fleet, and issued its own currencies. Due to lack of documents, Byblos could not reveal all its secrets yet. French Description: Cet ouvrage presente une etude multidisciplinaire sur l'histoire de Byblos basee sur l'exploration et la confrontation de differentes sortes de sources. L'auteur divise l'histoire de Byblos en quatre periodes principales. Entre la fin du deuxieme millenaire et le milieu du 9e siecle, Byblos qui continue a conserver ses liens privilegies avec l'Egypte jouissait d'une certaine independance qui lui a permis de se developper et d'entretenir des relations avec les habitants de Huelva en Espagne. Cependant, entre 853 et 610, Byblos, et a cause des conquetes assyriennes, n'a pas uniquement perdu son independance, mais elle etait contrainte de preter allegeance aux souverains assyriens en versant des tribus. Cette situation n'a pas change durant l'epoque babylonienne qui a dure moins qu'un siecle. Durant l'epoque perse (539-333), Byblos qui faisait partie de la province de Transeuphratene, a reconstruit sa flotte, et a emis ses propres monnaies. Faute de document, Byblos n'a pas pu reveler encore tous ses secrets.

Love poems from late nineteenth-century Arabia Arabian Romantic captures what it was like to live in central Arabia before the imposition of austere norms by the Wahhabi authorities in the early twentieth century: tales of robbery and hot pursuit; perilous desert crossings; scenes of exhaustion and chaos when water is raised from deep wells under harsh conditions; the distress of wounded and worn-out animals on the brink of perdition; once proud warriors who are at the mercy of their enemy on the field of battle. Such images lend poignancy to the suffering of the poet’s love-stricken heart, while also painting a vivid portrait of typical Bedouin life. Ibn Sbayyil (ca. 1853–1933), a town dweller from the Najd region of the Arabian Peninsula, was a key figure in the Nabati poetic tradition. His poetry, which is still recited today, broke with the artifice of the preceding generation by combining inherited idiom and original touches reflecting his environment. Translated into English for the first time by Marcel Kurpershoek, Arabian Romantic will delight readers with a poetry that is direct, fluent, and expressive, and that has entertained Arabic speakers for over a century. A bilingual Arabic-English edition.
