<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Published in the fiftieth anniversary year of the state of Israel: a complete history of one of the world's most admired--and most mythologized--fighting forces<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Combining razor-sharp analysis with dramatic narrative, vivid portraits of soldiers and commanders with illuminating discussions of battle tactics and covert actions, <i>The Sword and the Olive</i> traces the history of the IDF from its beginnings in Palestine to today. The book also goes beyond chronology to wrestle with the political and ethical struggles that have shaped the IDF and the country it serves--struggles that are manifesting themselves in the recent tragic escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Often revisionist in attitude, surprising in many of its conclusions, this book casts new light on the struggle for peace in the Middle East.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Martin van Creveld</b> is an internationally recognized authority on military history and strategy. The author of twenty-two books which were translated into twenty languages, he has lectured or taught at virtually every strategic institute, military or civilian, in the Western world. He lives near Jerusalem.
