This book provides a ground-breaking assessment of the Israeli
national security experience from the establishment of the country
through to the present day. Seventy-five years after its
establishment, the State of Israel continues to face an acute
national security predicament as a result of the still unresolved
Arab–Israeli conflict. This monograph offers a new framework for
analyzing this experience, first exploring the crucial events of
the past and present that define it, including interstate wars,
asymmetrical wars, low-intensity conflicts, and developments in
weapons of mass destruction. The book then probes how Israel’s
evolving national security doctrine has addressed these various
challenges over the years, highlighting the roles of a number of
variables: deterrence, warning, and decision; strategic depth and
defensible borders; the quality and quantity of fighting men and
machines; intelligence; self-reliance in military matters; foreign
policy; and the influence of ethnic demography, societal
resilience, economic prosperity, and water security. Written in
accessible, non-technical language, the book will appeal to general
readers seeking an introduction to Israeli security, as well as to
specialists and researchers in various fields, including Israeli
history, Middle Eastern politics, and security studies.
