Description
Israel's New Wars examines Israel's recent conflicts with Iran and its partners. The book's key focus is how these wars differ from those fought between 1948 and 1982. In the wake of its independence, Israel fought a series of high-intensity wars against Arab states. Since then, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have fought several confrontations and numerous smaller actions against non-state actors such as Hezbollah and Hamas, and have also been engaged in a long-running 'cold war' with Iran, mostly over Iran's nuclear program. Author Dr. Ehud Eilam explores the lessons learned by Israel in these conflicts, and how they have influenced strategy and doctrine. He also makes a major new assessment of the structure of the IDF, and evaluates its capacity in fighting Iran and its allies.This book is essential for anyone who wishes to understand the present and future of the Middle East."Dr. Eilam offers meticulous analysis and in- depth discussion of current Israeli military history in a way that few historians do."-Brig.
