Genesis 1948: The First Arab-Israeli War.

This book tells the full story of the first Arab-Israeli war and the birth of the State of Israel. Based largely on some 1000 interviews with participants of all nations, it describes the important military and diplomatic events of that epic war - from the struggle between Truman and Dean Rusk to the fall of Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter; from the Irgun-Stern Gang massacre at Deir Yassin to the ambush of a Hadassah hospital convoy; from the clandestine operations of the Jewish underground in the US to the secret negotiations between Jordan's King Abdullah and Moshe Dayan. Here are anecdotes and glimpses of great figures such as Weizmann, Ben-Gurion, Dayan, Abba Eban, Abdullah, Glubb Pasha, Ralph Bunche, and Nasser, and of the ordinary people who did the fighting; concentration-camp survivors, Sabras, foreign volunteers, and Arabs from throughout the Middle East. Here are all the major and minor participants and events of the great conflict that set the stage for and is crucial to the understanding of the present-day Israeli nation.

The Eichmann Trial: Some Legal Aspects

ON May 23, I960, Prime Minister David Ben Gurion of Israel announced in the Knesseth (Israel's Parliament) that Adolf Eichmann had been found. Eichmann, had, in fact, been living under an assumed name in Argentina and had been brought to Israel without the knowledge or consent of the Government of Argentina. The circumstances of his transportation to Israel are not fully known, but it seems that he was apprehended by an Israeli commando squad in Suarez on the outskirts of Buenos Aires on May 11, kept under lock and key in a private house for some nine days, and spirited away to Israel on an El Al plane that had brougth Israel's Minister of Security, Abba Eban, to Argentina on May 20. The ostensible purpose of Mr. Eban's visit was to represent Israel at Argentina's Independence Day celebrations. On May 21, 1960, the El Al plane returned to Israel with Eichmann, but without Mr. Eban.'
