Israel: History of a Besieged Nation is a documentary-style work that spans over seven decades of conflict from a perspective often overlooked in global discourse: that of the world's only Jewish state, facing hostility since its inception. Drawing from historical sources, diplomatic archives, testimonies, and declassified documents, this book debunks myths, exposes facts, and presents a rigorous account of the wars, terrorism, diplomatic dilemmas, and delegitimization campaigns faced by Israel.
Each chapter details how Israel has had to respond to continuous attacks, and how-despite international criticism-it has maintained a vibrant democracy and a powerful defensive capacity. Rather than portraying Israel as a colonial occupier, the narrative presents it as a nation under siege, compelled to defend itself in a region where war has rarely been a choice, but rather a necessity for survival.
