Summary:	"For the last 4 decades, Israel has been challenged by the rise of ballistic arsenals in the Middle East. If, at first, the country kept relying on its traditional offensive doctrines, it eventually developed missile defense programs in the early-1980s through U.S.-Israel cooperation and then in the 2000s with the building of its iconic Iron Dome. This Israeli experience in missile defense reveals crucial lessons on the military adaptation to both new threats and new remedies that have direct implications for the United States and its allies"--Publisher's web site.

Description
Summary:	Over the last years, missile defense has resurfaced as a major feature of the strategic debate in the United States and among its close allies. As demonstrated during the last clashes between the Israeli Defense Forces and Palestinian factions (2012 and 2014), missile defense is now a pillar of Israel's strategic culture. Understanding this evolution demands an in-depth look at its political, military, and technical ramifications. That is the very purpose of this new monograph by Dr. Jean-Loup Samaan. Based on archival research and numerous interviews with key players in Israel, Dr. Samaan provides us with one of the first comprehensive appraisals of Is-rael's experience in missile defense.<br><br> U.S. intelligence and defense planners as well as scholars, practitioners, historians, especially military historians, veterans, and lawmakers may be most interested in this text that showcases the history of Israel's missile defense enterprise. International relations, defense manufacturers, military leaders, personnel, and strategists may also be interested in this work. Additionally, students pursuing coursework in military and political science with specialties in foreign policy, and national security intelligence may find this text useful for supplemental reading.<br><br> Related products: <br><br> Seize the High Ground: The Army in Space and Missile Defense can be found here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-029-00392-9<br><br> Alternatives for Boost-Phase Missile Defense is available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/052-070-07429-9<br><br> Penetrating the Iron Curtain: Resolving the Missile Gap With Technology (Book and DVD) is available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/041-015-00300-3<br><br> Schriever Air Force Base: A History in Pictures is available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-070-00869-6<br>
