More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Within this assessment of the 33-day 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War, the author examines both the real-time and historical considerations that affected Israel’s decision to invade Lebanon. He further provides an analysis of both Israel and Hezbollah and how they prepared, or failed to prepare, themselves for the next war after the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000. Additionally, he looks at the impact the international community had on the 2006 war, specifically addressing the overwhelming advantages Hezbollah enjoyed vis-a-vis Israel. Lastly, the author provides an overall summary of a few of the more cogent lessons learned from the Israeli-Hezbollah War which applied not just to Israel, but have direct implications for the United States
