Keys to Failure: Israel's Performance in Global Perspective

Abstract

FROM THE ARTICLE: Just as the war was grinding on, I got hold of this study of what was going on in Lebanon, in global political economy perspective . . . from two of the most reliable and insightful researchers it has been my good fortune to read -- Jonathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler's 'Cheap Wars'. . . . It is a bit irritating that both of them are Israelis and as usual are way ahead of us Arab journalists and our conspiracy theories -- me included -- but there's no harm in getting an inside account of what went wrong with the Israeli war. . . . And they figured it out before the war even 'went' wrong!
