Israeli national security

In an era of dramatic turmoil in the Middle East, is Israel's traditional national security strategy—primarily developed during the country's formative early years—still appropriate? Charles Freilich provides an expansive account of the Israeli national security landscape, critically assessing the fundamental pillars of the country's security doctrine which challenges prevalent assumptions. This book is an ambitious discussion of past, present and future issues related to Israeli security and will likely become an important primer on the subject for students and scholars going forward. In light of Israel historically never having articulated an all-encompassing account of its national security strategy, Freilich begins with a reappraisal of the country's classic defence doctrine and its three pillars of deterrence, early warning and rapid military decision. He cogently illustrates that the shifting sands in the Middle East demand that Israel adapt its approach to national security. The book proceeds, in part two, to comprehensively discuss
