Written in 1990 this book about a 'future' middle east conflict between Libya & Egypt instigated by Libya in the midst of a political power struggle.
Not much time is spent on the political side of things, just enough so that the story has a realistic setting without becoming bogged down in
The novel builds like a coming storm as events lead up to the eventual conflict, the conflict itself is well written and, I feel, a good portrayal of modern war.
I read a 1990 second reprint hardcover copy which also included diagrams of the battles (with legends) and a comprehensive glossary and bibliography.
