LA GUERRA DE LOS SEIS DIAS 1967: EL SINAI

SIMON DUNSTAN

RBA LIBROS, 2011

Resumen del libro

En mayo de 1967, el presidente egipcio Gamal Abdel Nasser expulsó a las fuerzas de interposición de Naciones Unidas, estacionadas en la franja de Gaza y el Sinaí desde 1957, y concentró un gran número de tropas en la frontera con Israel, a la vez que cerraba el estrecho de Tirán para bloquear el puerto israelí de Eilat, mov imientos que tenían visos de preparativos de guerra. A principios de junio, Israel tomó la decisión de actuar y lanzó un espectacular ataque aéreo preventivo, que destruyó la aviación egipcia. Con el control del cielo asegurado, las columnas acorazadas de Israel avanzaron hacia el Sinaí y la franja de Gaza, y empujaron a los egipcios hasta el canal de Suez en tan sólo cinco días. Ésta es la historia de la campaña del Sinaí, una de las operaciones más audaces y victoriosas de la historia militar moderna. ... Leer resumen completo

THE YOM KIPPUR WAR 1973 (2): THE SINAI

SIMON DUNSTAN

OSPREY PUBLISHING, 2003

Resumen del libro

Israel’s victory in the 1967 ‘Six Day War’ sowed the seeds of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. At 1400hrs on 6 October 1973 the Egyptian army launched an assault crossing of the Suez Canal. The carefully co-ordinated attack achieved complete tactical surprise. The sand embankments of the Israeli Bar-Lev Line were breached and an Israeli counterattack thrown back with heavy losses. In the second of his two-volume analysis of the Yom Kippur War, Simon Dunstan details the fighting in the Sinai, culminating in Operation Gazelle, the Israeli counterattack across the Suez Canal. Although defeated militarily Egypt did ultimately succeed in forcing the Israelis back to the negotiating table. ... Leer resumen completo

FORT EBEN EMAEL: THE KEY HITLER S VICTORY IN THE WEST

SIMON DUNSTAN

OSPREY PUBLISHING, 2005

Resumen del libro

At the outbreak of World War II, Fort Eben Emael in Belgium was the strongest fortress in the world, and it lay exactly across the German invasion route of Belgium and France. The fort’s elimination was essential for the success of Hitler’s invasion of the West. Deemed impregnable to conventional attack, Hitler himself suggested the means for its capture with the first glider-borne assault in military history. On 10 May 1940, ten gliders carrying just 77 paratroopers landed on top of the fort. Using top-secret hollow-charge weapons for the first time in warfare, the assault pioneers of Sturmgruppe Granit subdued Fort Eben Emael within just 30 minutes, and the fortress surrendered within 30 hours. It remains one of the greatest raids in the annals of Special Forces. ... Leer resumen completo
