Routledge - The Wald Report: Decline Of Israeli National Security

Explore a profound analysis of military transformation in The Wald Report: The Decline Of Israeli National Security Since 1967. Published by Routledge, this work examines the findings of Colonel Emanuel Wald, who served as the head of the Department of Long-term Planning within the General Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces. According to Wald's report to Israeli Chief of Staff Moshe Levi, an army once recognized for its agility and operational brilliance transitioned into a clumsy bureaucratic labyrinth within just fifteen years. This document provides a deep look into the conclusions that caused significant embarrassment for Israeli political and military leaders when the news of the report circulated. This book offers a unique perspective on military history and strategic planning. It is an essential resource for readers interested in the evolution of national security structures and the internal assessments of military leadership.
