The technically sophisticated Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were confronted by a much smaller but well-armed and highly unconventional state within a state opponent. Israel launched an intensive 34-minute air assault designed to essentially disarm Hezbollah; it did not. Hezbollah's interspersion within the civilian population presented major targeting problems for the IDF, setting up condemnation of Israel's over-reaction in the international press. Airpower became the big loser in the press and after-action reports. Divining Victory examines the decisions, the effects, and the lessons learned for those who must confront similar enemies. Originally published in 2007. Recommended on the 2008 Royal Ar Force Chief of the Air Staffs' reading list.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49955794813201,"sku":"CIN0321984005G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50627454796049,"sku":"CIN0321984005VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0321984005.jpg?v=1750813655"},{"product_id":"along-these-lines-book-john-sheridan-biays-9780205110131","title":"Along These Lines","description":"In Along These Lines, authors John Sheridan Biays and Carol Wershoven prepare students for the writing expectations of future courses by providing thorough, step-by-step instruction for key topics: the writing process, grammar, and research.
