Riding the Tiger: The Middle East Challenge After the Cold War, edited by Phebe Marr & William Lewis. 253 pages, maps, tables, notes, index. Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1993. $55 (Cloth) ISBN 0-8133-8479-6

This book studies three policy failures in the Middle East: the June War of 1967, the War of Attrition between Egypt and Israel in 1968-1970 and the abortive May 17, 1983 peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon. All three took place as a result of miscalculations by those involved. The incidents are selected to illus trate the "universality" of miscalculations and to draw lessons to prevent them from occurring in the future.
