Bligh grapples with a difficult and understudied theme. The book is not only rich in data embedded and brought together in an elegant and new analytical framework; he does it in a giant leap that will eventually give rise, one suspects, to a theory that stands somewhere in the intersection of military issues, legal constructs, ethical stances, and the political, diplomatic, financial, and economic challenges relating to POWs of and in Israel. An obscure theme becomes almost transparent in his able hands. A must-read text. -- Armando Marques Guedes, Nova Law School and Portuguese Joint Command and Staff College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.The Internationally Agreed upon Standards for Recognizing POWs\/MIAs and the Israeli Working Definitions  2.The Intelligence Dimension of Taking and Losing POWs 3.Early Indications of an Emerging Policy: Strategic Defeats and Tactical Successes, 1949-1955 4.De Facto Policy in the Shadow of a Coming War, 1955-1956 5.Israel Extends its own Working Interpretation of the Term POW:  Prisoner Issues in the Wake of the 1956 Conflict to late 1962 6.New Regimes, Old Policies, and the Connection between Regime Changes and the Fate of Israeli Agents in Hostile Hands, 1963-1967  7.The 1967 War: Extending the Israeli Definition of POWs 8.The 1967–1970 Crucial Interregnum: The Challenging Legacy of the War of Attrition 9.Black September, Sub-National Actors, and the Early Internationalization of the Hostage\/POW Issue, 1970–1973 10.The 1973 War as a Watershed Line and the Dramatic Shift to Defensive POW Policies 11.The Palestinian Sub-State Actors Taking Over: From POWs to Hostages?
