Description - Rabin and Israel's National Security by Efraim Inbar
For more than 40 years, Yitzhak Rabin played a critical role in shaping Israeli national security policy and military doctrine. He began as a soldier in the Palmach, the elite underground unit of the Jewish community in Palestine, served in the 1948 War of Independence, and ultimately became chief of staff of the Israeli Defence Force (IDF), defence minister in several governments, ambassador to the USA, and, twice, prime minister. As chief of staff, Rabin led the IDF to its triumph in the 1967 Six Day War. He was assassinated in 1995 as Prime Minister, as he left a peace rally. Drawing in material and interviews with important sources, including Rabin himself, Efraim Inbar's work offers a systematic study of Rabin's strategic thinking, his contributions to IDF military buildup, his stress on Israel's relationship to the US, his attitudes towards the use of force, and his approach to Israel's nuclear status in the Middle East.
