This book was written in 1967, shortly after the Six-Day War. What would Kishon say about the situation today? Much of it is no longer understandable from today's perspective.
In any case, this is not a typical Kishon book. There's no humour. He doesn't make fun of his fellow sufferers, compatriots, family, or anyone else. He tries to see his country from the perspective of a war won. If that interests you, read this book.
From the back cover:
"This book features the satires of Ephraim Kishon and the cartoons of Kariel Gardosh (Dosh), most of which were published in Ma'ariv as comments on the Six-Day war and under its influence. They are now collected in this anthology in their original form."
