All sources are in English unless otherwise noted. Apart from these are literally thousands of other books, magazine and newspaper articles, Internet websites, plastic models and decals, and information conveyed by letter, e-mail, and verbally. The reader is especially directed to the many published works of Shlomo Aloni, Yehuda Borovik, Amos Dor, Yoav Efrati, Arie Egozi, David Eshel, Noam Hartoch, Salvador Mafé Huertas, Samuel Katz, Zvi Marguilies, Lon Nordeen, Jean-Jacques Petit, David Rodman, Asher Roth, Danny Shalom, Ilan Warshai, Ra’anan Weiss, Alex Yofe, and Ofer Zidon.
