Israel assumes in advance that defeat in war means an end to its state, and it wages war accordingly.
This fact influences the Israeli approach to its army and to the strategy, tactics, training and conduct of war. Surrounded by hostile nations, Israel has fought six victorious wars between 1948 and 1973, despite having begun as an irregular, impoverished and improvised group.
Backed by plenty of photographs and eight full page colour plates, this detailed text examines the six wars fought between 1948–73, including the substantial Israeli victory of 1967.
