“Yotam Gadot (Gedasi), commanded a Tanks battalion from
1988-1990. This was the period of marking the start of the Intifada
and escalation of battle in the safety zone on the Lebanese border
– which gave birth to confusion and distress among the ranks of
the IDF; and a sense of dilemma between actions and morality.
This conflict between personal ethics and executing certain
military orders created an internal rift within many of us. As
reflected in the book’s name, certain decisions often opposed
personal beliefs and threatened to paralyze us. The survival
tactics of commanders within the complex military system, these
complicated conditions as backdrop, are the focus of this book.
Keeping this in mind, Battling Choices, is an important milestone
for commanders, from a tactical standpoint. It illuminates the
“lonely people”; the process of decision making, the boundaries
of leadership and our ability to extract the best from ourselves
and from our soldiers.”
General Yiftach Rontal – Head of Ground Command
