This exhilarating book unveils the clandestine strategies that have enabled Israel to not just survive but flourish since its founding in 1949, despite being surrounded and attacked by deadly adversaries. The Sword of Freedom is an eye-opening insider's look into Israel’s transformation from a beleaguered nation to a formidable presence on the global stage.
Israel's prosperity is rooted in smart strategies, carefully chosen alliances, and a society-wide understanding that there is no Plan B for the Jewish people. “It’s the job of the Israeli defense establishment to do whatever it can to put off the next war for as long as possible,” the author explains, “including using covert means.” Drawing from his vast experience in intelligence and national security, the author chronicles how Israel has consistently turned adversity into opportunity, brilliantly leveraging limited resources to maximum effect, using a range of strategies including:
Questioning all information from all sources
Focusing on human intelligence (HUMINT) over other forms of spy craft
Winning before the battle begins by instilling fear in enemies
Maintaining working relationships with challenging allies, including Russia and Saudi Arabia
A testament to his unwavering commitment to truth, accountability, and the use of decisive action, The Sword of Freedom celebrates Israel’s victories and presents a roadmap for winning in the future.
