IRON DOME tells the remarkable story of how a single military system, designed to protect against<BR>rockets, reshaped Israel's politics and strategy. Conceived against the resistance from many, and<BR>developed at extraordinary speed, Iron Dome eventually became one of the most iconic<BR>symbols of modern warfare.<BR><BR>Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews with Israeli and American decision-makers, Jean-Loup<BR>Samaan traces the rise of Iron Dome against the backdrop of Israel's wars with Hamas and Hezbollah.<BR>The new system enabled Israel's governments to assuage the fears of its population amid the flow of<BR>rockets targeting its cities.<BR><BR>However, the book shows that the story of Iron Dome is more than a tale of technological prowess:<BR>it reveals key insights into the evolving conflict between Israel and the Palestinians since the Hamas<BR>takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007, the struggle within the Israeli Defense Forces to adapt its strategy,<BR>and the way missile defense is shaping the future of Israel-US military cooperation. It also offers a<BR>compelling study of the core tensions of modern warfare, from the dilemma between offense and<BR>defense to the uneasy marriage of strategy and technology.
