For the first time he offers details of many of the unit's operations during the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War (1968-1973), including the raids on the Adabiya coastal post and the Green Island fortress that resulted in heavy casualties to the enemy and a strategic change in Israel's combat arena. He candidly discusses his unit's despair following failed operations prior to this period and describes how Flotilla 13 was transformed into a unit of high morale and performance."--Publisher's description.

After being certified a Naval Commando Warrior in 1955, he trained to become a naval officer and then earned degrees at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, RI.
