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
