“…The thing for which we are fighting determines the measures of our ability. A limited goal – reduces our ability, an expanded goal – expands. Who is the expert who will tell us how far the Jewish people are willing to go in defense of their national future?” (David Ben-Gurion, 1971, Uniqueness and Purpose, p. 23)

The relationship between the political level and the military level, fundamental questions in the building of military power and more.
