Elazar Stern enlisted the IDF in 1974 as a paratrooper and served as commander in various posts throughout the next two decades. He was head officer of the Youth and Education Department from 1999 2004, eventually becoming head of Human Resources in 2004. Stern earned a BA from Bar Ilan University, an MA from National Defence University in Washington, DC, and an MBA from Tel Aviv University and Northwestern University. He is presently chairman of both the Ethiopian National Project and the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel. He was a founding member of Mitzpe Hoshaya in northern Israel, where he lives with his family.
General Elazar Stern is a soldier and an intellectual. As a soldier he never stopped thinking, and as an intellectual he never stopped preparing. So his memoir is not a story of the past but a lesson for the future: how to win wars, how to lead soldiers, and how to remain a true believer in the Ten Commandments, which serve as the foundation of the Jewish heritage and history. --Shimon Peres, President of Israel
