For the United States, containment is a way to avoid war with Iran and thwart its nuclear weapons program. For Israel it has been a way to prevent a confrontation with the Palestinians in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.   In other cases containment is meant to weaken a foe without starting a war, as Israel did by bombing shipments of weapons to Hezbollah. Containment was also part of the war in Syria-because the West lacked the ability to overthrow Bashar al-Assad, though it cost the civilian population there dearly. Egypt has been trying to contain both its enormous economic hardships and ISIS, primarily in the Sinai Peninsula.   Ultimately Eilam provides important and timely insights into the Middle East’s perennially fluid and volatile political environment. His insights and analyses will be of interest not least in the corridors of power both here and abroad.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49731963978001,"sku":"NGR9781640121881","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51043125231889,"sku":"NIN9781640121881","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1640121889.jpg?v=1761386229"},{"product_id":"next-war-between-israel-and-egypt-book-ehud-eilam-9780853038382","title":"The Next War between Israel and Egypt","description":"Based on an insider's knowledge of weaponry and of actual Israeli and Egyptian battle strategies, this book examines how two of the strongest regional militaries would likely fight a high intensity war in the Middle East. The book examines how the various factors in play - the battle for air superiority, air-ground bombardment, armor, and infantry collisions - would shape the outcome of the conflict, discussing each factor separately in order to highlight its importance. The analysis draws on previous (mainly Arab-Israeli) conflicts, and also on the author's 20 years of experience in studying and doing research on Israel's national strategy and military doctrine. Fascinating new issues are looked at, such as the demilitarization of the Sinai Peninsula and both armies being largely equipped with US military hardware. How would the lack of military infrastructure in the Peninsula dictate the course of the conflict? What issues of identification and friendly fire would the similarity of equipment bring? The book also examines the variety of confrontations that Israel might face - such as high intensity, hybrid, and low intensity wars - and the corresponding responses and strategies it might choose in defense. This will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern high intensity warfare, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the possible future of the Middle East. *** 'Eilam presents a very cogent, judicious and compelling analysis of what the future military confrontation between Israel and Egypt in Sinai could look like.' -- Hillel Frisch, Professor of Political and Middle East Studies, Bar-Ilan University [Subject: Israeli studies, Middle East Studies, Military Studies, Politics]","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50772876427537,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50772876853521,"sku":"GOR014066297","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0853038384.jpg?v=1757413205"},{"product_id":"israeli-strategies-in-the-middle-east-book-ehud-eilam-9783030956011","title":"Israeli Strategies in the Middle East","description":"1 Israeli concerns about Iran.- 2 Iran, Arabs and Israel.- 3 Israel Hezbollah Hamas and PA.- 4 The IDZ vs Hezbollah.- 5 War in Syria.- 6 Russian intervention in Syria.- 7 USA, Israel and Iran.- 8 US and an attack on Iran.- 9 The lessons of History.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50942756389137,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50942757667089,"sku":"CIN3030956016VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52516400595217,"sku":"NLS9783030956011","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3030956016.jpg?v=1751063567"},{"product_id":"israel-s-military-doctrine-book-ehud-eilam-9781498575638","title":"Israel's Military Doctrine","description":"This book examines the transition in Israel's military doctrine and analyzes Israel's conflict with hybrid forces since 2006 compared with the high intensity wars in 1948-1982.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52330757194001,"sku":"NLS9781498575638","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781498575638.jpg?v=1758146416"},{"product_id":"israel-s-way-of-war-book-ehud-eilam-9781476663821","title":"Israel's Way of War","description":"Israel has fought many wars since its founding in 1948, from conventional military conflicts with Arab forces to irregular clashes with guerrilla and terror groups. A study of these confrontations reveals strategic and military patterns. Written by a former member of the Israel Defense Forces, this book compares the wars fought in Lebanon against the Palestine Liberation Organization (1982) and against Hezbollah (2006), and in the Gaza Strip (1956, 1967, 2008-2009 and 2014). The author draws similarities between Israel and Western nations--mainly the United States and Britain--in their waging of conventional and irregular warfare, and offers a comparison of the Vietnam War to Israel's struggle with Hezbollah in the 1990s.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52433271488785,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52433272045841,"sku":"NLS9781476663821","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781476663821.jpg?v=1759177474"},{"product_id":"israel-s-national-security-the-arab-position-and-its-complicated-relations-with-book-ehud-eilam-9781666907506","title":"Israel's National Security, the Arab Position, and Its Complicated Relations with the United States","description":"This book analyzes major national security issues in the Middle East, focusing on those regarding Israel, which could have negative implications on the United States.

The book’s key focus is how these wars differ from those fought between 1948 and 1982. In the wake of its independence, Israel fought a series of high-intensity wars against Arab states. Since then, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have fought several confrontations and numerous smaller actions against non-state actors such as Hezbollah and Hamas, and have also been engaged in a long-running ‘cold war’ with Iran, mostly over Iran’s nuclear program. Author Dr. Ehud Eilam explores the lessons learned by Israel in these conflicts, and how they have influenced strategy and doctrine. He also makes a major new assessment of the structure of the IDF, and evaluates its capacity in fighting Iran and its allies.      This book is essential for anyone who wishes to understand the present and future of the Middle East.   \"Dr. Eilam offers meticulous analysis and in- depth discussion of current Israeli military history in a way that few historians do.\"   —Brig. General (Res.) Dr. Dani Asher author and defence expert   \"This carefully researched study sheds light on the multifaceted efforts of the IDF to manage and overcome the threats posed by Hamas and Hezbollah. Eilam’s balanced and nuanced analysis provides a revealing account of these endeavors.\"   —John Calabrese, The American University, Washington, DC   \"Israel’s New Wars is a must- read book not only analyzes the conflicts between Israel and Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, but also provides an intriguing and comprehensive study of how the IDF can prepare to fight non- state actors.\"   —Brig.
