The Military Balance 1997-1998 - Middle East and North Africa

London: Brassey's: Putnam Aeronautical, 1992. — 220 p."The Military Balance is the unique and vital resource on which informed public debate of the world's armed forces is founded. Up-to-date figures and information on defense budgets, procurement total, equipment holdings, and military deployments are presented clearly and succinctly. In the arrears of defense information, where nationally produced fictions often masquerade as facts, The Military Balance is the internationally recognized source of record."--William S. Cohen, former US Secretary of Defence
