While violence has ebbed and flowed over the years, the threat of terrorism has remained a constant factor, shaping Israeli security policy in a unique way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBoaz Ganor provides an authoritative analysis of Israel's approach to counterterrorism throughout its existence. Drawing on unprecedented access to Israeli leaders, he offers a comprehensive insider's account of the decision-making processes, challenges, and dilemmas at the core of counterterror activities. Beginning with infiltration attacks from neighboring states immediately after independence and proceeding through the formation of organized Palestinian terror organizations up to the present day, this book details distinct eras of terrorism and how the Israeli state has counteracted them. Ganor also highlights the dynamic nature of both terrorism and counterterrorism: Just as waves of terror rise, fall, and evolve, so too do the measures employed to respond to them. He distills the lessons of Israel's experience into key tenets for other countries facing the challenge of terrorism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book features revelatory personal testimony from senior Israeli decision makers who have played pivotal roles in counterterrorism strategy, including prime ministers, defense ministers, Israeli Defense Forces chiefs of staff, and directors of Mossad and Shin Bet. \u003ci\u003eIsrael's Counterterrorism Strategy\u003c\/i\u003e is indispensable reading for students, scholars, and practitioners alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Boaz Ganor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231199236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231199230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Boaz Ganor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045437698303,"sku":"9780231199230","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1931cbf8-dcf8-4443-ae77-11315606ca40.jpg?v=1684978747","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/israels-counterterrorism-strategy-boaz-ganor-9780231199230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
