RESEARCH SURVEY No 7: KEY TO THE SINAI - THE BATTLES FOR ABU AGEILA IN THE 1956 AND 1967 ARAB-ISRAELI WARS.

''Situated between the Suez Canal and Israel and marked by the harsh environment of the central Sinai lies Abu Ageila, an unprepossessing area of low ridges and hills through which passes the best-surfaced road in the peninsula. Owing to its location on the central route, close to the Israeli-Egyptian border, Abu Ageila became the key to the Sinai in the Arab-Israeli Wars of 1956 and 1967. The struggle for this barren land in two wars provides an epic story and reveals the influence of experienc on the preparation for and conduct of war

...Based on extensive research, including personal interviews with Israeli commanders and briefings by Egyptian military historians, KEY TO THE SINAI is a crisp battle narrative of desert warfare and a systematic historical analysis of two armies confronting the changing terms of battle. Students of AirLand Battle doctrine will find this Research  Survey a stimulus to meeting the challenges of modern warfare'' (from the book's foreword).
