I really wouldn't know one book or 'work' (whether as a series of papers or a stand-alone product) that's providing a decent summary of all the Arab militaries at diverse wars they fought since 1918. Depending on the period, country/military in question, there are few that are outstanding, and a mass that's actually useless (at best: intentionally misguiding).

One belonging to the first group would be Asher's Egyptian Strategy for the Yom Kippur War.

Sure, it's next to unknown in the wider public. But, what's making it as interesting is not only that it's largely based on documentation captured when the IDF overrun the HQ of the Egyptian Third Field Army in October 1973, plus plenty of translations from diverse Arab military publications. Foremost, it's really a good, serious military study, and no nice-weather-report.

There are few other such works in Israel (by Prof Mustafa Khabba, just for example), but 'don't worry': most are entirely unlikely to ever be translated into English.

Two other recommended reads would be Provence's The Great Syrian Revolt and the Rise of Arab Nationalism and The Last Ottoman Generation and the Making of the Modern Middle East

The rest really depends on what exactly are you after.
