Armies of Sand

Armies of Sand asks, 'why have Arab militaries fought so poorly in the modern era?' It examines the performance of over two-dozen Arab militaries from 1948 to 2017, and compares them to a half-dozen non-Arab militaries, to conclude that politics, economics, and culture all contributed to the past weakness of Arab armies.

Armatele de nisip se intreaba: „de ce au luptat militarii arabi atat de prost in era moderna?” Acesta examineaza performanta a peste doua duzini de militari arabi din 1948 pana in 2017 si ii compara cu o jumatate de duzina de militari non-arabi, pentru a concluziona ca politica, economia si cultura au contribuit la slabiciunea trecuta a armatelor arabe.
