Alan Hart, Arafat: A Political Biography
Conflict Quarterly Israel is here claimed to have a big advantage by virtue of the quality of its human resources at all levels: national strategic decision-making, operational and tactical military planning, and the individual combatant. Meanwhile, the earlier expectations by some analysts that the new "hi-tech" military systems could be operated by poorer quality manpower, i.e., uneducated troops, are said not to have panned out Indeed, the military gap between Israel and Syria is thought to be widening at the dawning of the age of "hitech" warfare, exacerbated by declined Soviet support for Syria to the extent not compensated for by Western Europe.

Yasir Arafat stands as one of the most resilient, recognizable and controversial political figures of modern times. The object of unrelenting suspicion, steady admiration and endless speculation, Arafat has occupied the center stage of Middle East politics for almost four decades.

Disavowing terrorism repeatedly, he also practiced it constantly. Arafat's elusive behavior ensured that radical regimes saw in him a comrade in arms, while moderates backed him as a potential partner in peace.
After years of devotion to armed struggl
