" The book explores the history of this special forces unit, from its inception in the early years of the State of Israel to its current status as one of the most highly trained and effective fighting forces in the world. The author, a former member of the unit himself, provides a detailed account of the training process, the missions undertaken by the unit, and the challenges faced by its members. The book begins with an introduction to the history of the Israeli Air Force and the need for a special forces unit that could carry out rapid and precise strikes against enemy targets. The author describes the early days of the Sayeret Matkal, when it was formed in the 1950s as a small group of volunteers who were tasked with conducting covert operations behind enemy lines. Over time, the unit grew and evolved, incorporating new technologies and tactics to become the highly skilled force it is today.
