This book is an exceptionally easy look into the difficult-to-research and security-conscious Israeli Defence Force. This book concentrates on the IDF ground forces including chapters on the IDF order of battle, some IDF background history, the Giva'ati brigade, the paratroopers, the Armored branch, the Golani brigade, the Merkhava tank, the Na'ha'l, Israeli officers, the role of females and older reservists, and an appendix on Israeli armament. While I wouldn't necessarily call it an in-depth study of the IDF, I would say that it is a very comprehensive introduction to the IDF complete with beautiful photographs. Some of the photographs are ones I've not seen elsewhere and I think I've seen most of the photographs in the Israeli National Archives! It is also one of the few books published about the IDF in 1990 and is fully up-to-date as of 1990 IDF history.
