danian village of Qibya, the unit blew up houses before checking that the inhabitants were out. Sixty-nine civilians were killed. The world was shocked and indeed continues to hold it against him, but according to these biographers Sharon felt that the raid had had a “strong, positive effect” on civilian and military morale.

Promoted steadily, Sharon played an important part in the set-piece wars provoked by Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat and their allies. In broad terms, Sharon has always believed that Arabs are brave and effective soldiers, but handicapped by weaknesses of organization. It was imperative therefore to exploit those weaknesses by rapid movement, preferably attacking from the rear to create surprise. In the aftermath of the 1967 war, he was opposed to building the so-called Bar Lev line along the occupied right bank of the Suez Canal, on the grounds that such a static position failed to take advantage of the Israelis’ remarkable capacities of improvisation and mobility.
