Description

“A full of life account of Israel’s evolving military prowess…if The Weapon Wizards were a novel, it would be one written by Horatio Alger; if it were a biblical allegory, it will be the story of David and Goliath.” ―The New York Times Book Review

From drones to satellites, missile defense systems to cyber warfare, Israel is leading the world relating to new technology being deployed on the modern battlefield. The Weapon Wizards shows how this tiny nation of 8 million learned to adapt to the changes in warfare and in the defense industry and transform the new prototype of a 21st century superpower, not in size, but somewhat in innovation and efficiency―and on account of its long war experience.

Sitting on the front lines of how wars are fought in the 21st century, Israel has developed in its arms trade new weapons and retrofitted old ones so they remain effective, relevant, and deadly on a constantly-changing battlefield. Whilst other countries begin to prepare for these challenges, they want to Israel―and specifically its weapons―for guidance. Israel is, in effect, a laboratory for the remainder of the world.

How did Israel do it? And what are the military and geopolitical implications of these developments? These are one of the crucial key questions Yaakov Katz and Amir Bohbot address. Drawing on a vast amount of research, and unparalleled access to the Israeli defense establishment, this book is a report directly from the front lines.
