Produktbeschreibung
A revealing book on the art of contemporary warfare, in which an internationally renowned military strategist and a distinguished member of the IDF unravel the secrets behind the improbable success, at its inception, of the Israel Defense Forces. From humble beginnings in May 1948, ill-equipped, with little industrial base but armed with an unprecedented spirit of improvisation, they forged their way to a decisive victory in the first Arab-Israeli war, their great milestone. Thanks to Edward N. Luttwak and Eitan Shamir, we will learn about Israel's military history, focusing on the evolution of its defense forces and how they have managed to become not only the most powerful army in the Middle East, but one of the most powerful in the world. We will discover the heart of their success: a unique organizational structure that encompasses air, naval and ground forces under a single institutional body. This uniqueness, combined with a young officer corps, fosters initiative from the bottom up, creating an agile and change-oriented organization. The IDF has not only been a pioneer on the battlefield, but has also led significant advances in military technology. From the first wartime use of drones to the famous Iron Dome missile defense system and the revolutionary Iron Beam laser weapon, its legacy of innovation is indisputable. In addition, unknown improvements in training, logistics and human resource management have played a crucial role in its success. Luttwak and Shamir unveil the key principles that have transformed the Israel Defense Forces into an agile and effective military force, exploring the strategic mastery and tactical creativity that have positioned them at the forefront of military innovation over the past seven decades.
