Shield of David: An Account of Israel's Defence Forces by Yigal Allon
ENGLISH
VG CONDITION, HARDCOVER
There are many books about Israel, and even more than that, on the Israeli army. In case you wonder why you need to fish out a book from 1970, well, it's because this book is one of a kind. I think Yigal Allon is not a very famous chrecter in the outside world, not as Moshe Dayan or David Ben Gurion. But if he doesn't it is not because he didn't do anything important, but because his natural modesty covered on his great actions.
He was a briliant strategist, and yet a peace-lover who talked with the Arabs, understood them that was the first to offer a peace-plan with the Palestinians, back in 1968.
Yigal Allon was jewish, and was borned is Palestine. He witnessed the creation and development of the Jewish defence, andwhen his time arrived, he took a part in it. He was a member of the respond forces that attacked the Arab bases in respons to their attacks on Jewish settlements. He was the commander of the Palmah, the Hagana's elite unit. In the1948 war he commanded "Yiphtah" operation at the Galilee, and when he was turned to the commander of the southern front, his strategy and briliant tactics had beaten the strong Egyptian army. In 1967 he was offered to be the minister of defence, but refused, and yet was a part of the security counsol and an advisor to the prime minister in security and defence manners.
He wrote many other books, but the most important, in my opinion, is his first, "A curtain of Sand" from 1948 (Written during and after the war, was upgraded after the 1967 war.) where Allon is analysing Israel's strategist situation and actually designing its army.
So, as you can see, by buying this book you don't buy "Another book about the Israeli Army" you buy a book written by a man who was one of the main creators of it, and that just because of his foreseeing the future and the needs of the state of Israel, the Israeli army is as it is today.
