Avner Yaniv taught political science and international relations at the University of Haifa. An Israeli Sabra, Yaniv received his doctorate from Oxford University. He has been widely published. The author divides the book into four main parts which correspond to the stages of development in Israel's conventional deterrence strategy. Each section covers five crucial components of the deterrence strategy: force structure and capability, the manipulations articulation of threats and commitments, the role of allies, the use of force, and the domestic political backdrop. Through the Israeli example, Yaniv presents a more general definition of conventional deterrence--its limits, its dynamics, and how it is best pursued. Yaniv concluded that Israel's strategy of conventional deterrence has often been imperfect, yet quite successful in achieving its main objectives. The author believes that pressures for a nuclear posture are likely to increase unless Israel takes certain steps, which are within its power, to check this course of events.
