Description

What is life like for a senior IDF officer? How does he really feel about his missions and what goes on behind the armor and the uniforms of the Israeli Defense Forces?Colonel Itsik Ronen never planned to be a Tanker in the Armored Corps, but then he stepped into his first tank, saw the guys around him... and decided to embark on a challenging journey that will shape the rest of his life.In his autobiographical memoir, Ronen offers a behind the scenes look at the modern Israeli Army. With his direct, no-bullshit narrative style, he takes his readers from grueling basic training, to wars and combat operations, through his last post as commander of the legendary Harel Brigade.Along with him, the readers go through blood and fire, freezing winters and flying bullets. Through his eyes we experience the missiles of the Gulf War, two tumultuous wars in Lebanon and the endless war on terrorism. We are at his side through moments of fear, despair, perseverance and triumph.A riveting insight into the life of a senior IDF officer in recent years."From his personal story, we learn that the strength of the Armored Corps stems from the soldier in the tank, and his personal experiences relate to that courageous soldier."Lt. Gen. (res.) Moshe Bogie Ya'alon"The book is a reflection of the Armored Corps' operational activity through the past generation... This is the story of a generation of combat fighters who evolved in the shadow of terrorist uprising and conflict." Maj. Gen. (res.) Yoav Galant"Itsik Ronen's book fills a significant void in a notable undertaking: to convey the dedication and heroism of a generation of IDF tankers enlisted through the years following the Yom Kippur War." Maj. Gen. (res.) Gershon Hacohen
