The Six-Day War in 1967 was a lightning Israeli campaign that changed the face of the Middle East. Israel's armoured brigades, despite being heavily outnumbered on paper by Arab AFVs, managed to dominate the Arab forces tactically and technologically, through excellent gunnery and decentralized battlefield leadership. The fighting took place on three different fronts: the Sinai Front, the Jordanian Front and the Golan Heights. Each presented its own unique set of tactical and terrain challenges, from the long-range battles between massed Egyptian and Israeli armour in the scorching flatlands of the Sinai Desert, to relatively close-quarters engagements across steep and narrow terrain in the Golan Heights. Not only did the Six-Day War see the direct clash of opposing Cold War tactical approaches, but also the direct confrontation of Western and Soviet MBTs. On the Israeli side, the IDF had the British Centurion, the American M48 Patton, the M51 Super Sherman, and the French AMX-13, although they focused their armoured spearheads on the Centurions and Pattons. The Arabs' armoured power was expressed through T-34/85s, T-54/55s, PT-76s and JS-3s (IS-3s). Each vehicle brought its own set of advantages and disadvantages, although ultimately it was the long-range tank-killing gunnery of the Centurion that often took the day. Drawing on compelling first-hand accounts from both unit commanders and individual crews, this Duel title explains the tactical and mechanical dynamics of one of history's greatest post-war armoured engagements.

Over the last two decades, the Israel Defence Force (IDF) has introduced a variety of new AFVs. Old models such as the M48 and M60 have been improved beyond recognition, in the form of the Magach 7. The performance of Israel's indigenous Merkava tank has been similarly enhanced with new variants and the new Merkava 4 MBT has recently entered service. Israeli infantry have also received machines such as the Achzarit assault carrier, the Puma combat engineer vehicle and the Nagmachon and Nakpadon (tank-based carriers intended for low intensity conflicts). This book examines the design, modification and combat history of these formidable fighting machines.

What is life like for a senior IDF officer? How does he really feel about his missions and what goes on behind the armor and the uniforms of the Israeli Defense Forces? Colonel Itsik Ronen never planned to be a Tanker in the Armored Corps, but then he stepped into his first tank, saw the guys around him... and decided to embark on a challenging journey that will shape the rest of his life.In his autobiographical memoir, Ronen offers a behind the scenes look at the modern Israeli Army. With his direct, no-bullshit narrative style, he takes his readers from grueling basic training, to wars and combat operations, through his last post as commander of the legendary Harel Brigade.Along with him, the readers go through blood and fire, freezing winters and flying bullets. Through his eyes we experience the missiles of the Gulf War, two tumultuous wars in Lebanon and the endless war on terrorism. We are at his side through moments of fear, despair, perseverance and triumph. A riveting insight into the life of a senior IDF officer in recent years. "From his personal story, we learn that the strength of the Armored Corps stems from the soldier in the tank, and his personal experiences relate to that courageous soldier."Lt. Gen. (res.) Moshe Bogie Ya'alon"The book is a reflection of the Armored Corps' operational activity through the past generation... This is the story of a generation of combat fighters who evolved in the shadow of terrorist uprising and conflict." Maj. Gen. (res.) Yoav Galant"Itsik Ronen's book fills a significant void in a notable undertaking: to convey the dedication and heroism of a generation of IDF tankers enlisted through the years following the Yom Kippur War." Maj. Gen. (res.) Gershon Hacohen

Book Synopsis Israel's Armor Might by : Samuel M. Katz

From the creation of the first volunteer paratroop unit shortly after the birth of Israel and of the Israeli Defense Force, this arm of service has been recognized as elite. They have also been the first choice for daring special missions, and it is mainly from their ranks that Israel's Special Forces units have been recruited. A unique aspect of the Israeli military is the cross-posting of officers from the airborne, armoured and other units, to ensure that all unit commanders share their aggressive qualities and thorough understanding of the capabilities of all arms. In this way the influence of the paratroop arm has been out of proportion to its size. This fully illustrated study is a complete history of Israeli paratroopers from its creation to the present day, including relevant developments in their role and organization, as well as their achievements and setbacks in conflicts such as the Six Days War and Yom Kippur War.

This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The fact that the outcome of the 2006 Hezbollah-Israeli War was, at best, a stalemate for Israel has confounded military analysts. Long considered the most professional and powerful army in the Middle East, with a history of impressive military victories against its enemies, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) emerged from the campaign with its enemies undefeated and its prestige tarnished. This historical analysis of the war includes an examination of IDF and Hezbollah doctrine prior to the war, as well as an overview of the operational and tactical problems encountered by the IDF during the war. The IDF ground forces were tactically unprepared and untrained to fight against a determined Hezbollah force. ¿An insightful, comprehensive examination of the war.¿ Illustrations.
