About This Item

London: Faber and Faber, 1974. First Published [stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 246, [2] pages. Maps. Footnotes. Index. DJ front flap clipped at bottom. DJ has minor wear and soiling. Major Edgar "Paddy" O'Ballance (17 July 1918 - 8 July 2009) was a British military journalist, defence commentator and academic lecturer specializing in international relations and defence problems. He served in the British army until 1948. In April 1953 he was commissioned into the Territorial Army as a Captain, serving with the Sherwood Foresters. He was promoted Major in March 1955. In June 1963 he transferred from the Sherwood Foresters to the General List. Having achieved the age limit on 17 July 1968 retired retaining the rank of Major. He covered over twenty wars and insurgencies and wrote extensively on international relations, defence and strategic problems. He was a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. He wrote many articles for military journals and was the author of over forty books. The debacle of the '67 War led to the rise of the Fedayeen whose leaders hoped to apply in the Israeli-occupied territories the tried theories of revolutionary guerilla warfare. The author looks at the reasons that caused the Fedayeen's false appreciation of the situation and the misjudgments which led to their disastrous clash with the Jordanian Army.
