The Story Behind This Book
CGSC is supposed to be neutral ground where all international animosities are set aside for the year. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t snubs and barbs among traditional enemies. One case in point was the 1973 Mideast War. Overnight, all the Israeli Majors disappeared to fly back home to assume positions with their country’s armed forces. Two weeks after that lightning war, they returned to CGSC. Many presented briefings on how Israel had won that war while the Arab students fumed and muttered, totally chagrined. The author and his family sponsored international officer families to CGSC for 25 years. One of those families were from Pakistan, which is how they learned about the conflict over Kashmir.
