Providing a much-needed history of Israel's border warfare during specific periods of the 1950s and 1960s, Israel and Conventional Deterrence examines Israeli military strategy in light of current theory of conventional deterrence. Arguing that Israel's conflicts with Egypt and Palestinian infiltrators from Jordan were defensive in nature, Jonathan Shimshoni illuminates the strategy and ethos of guerilla conflict and thereby contributes to our general understanding of non-nuclear deterrence.
