Details On 6 October 1973 simultaneous attacks on two fronts caught Israel by surprise. Both attacks aimed to take back the territory occupied by Israel following the Six Day War of 1967. On the holiest day of the Jewish year Israeli forces were caught largely unprepared and consequently the Egyptian crossing of the Suez Canal and the Syrian attack on the Golan Heights were both initially successful. By the afternoon of the following day a Syrian brigade was less than 10km from the Sea of Galilee...

The Yom Kippur War 1973 (1) The Golan Heights [Campaign 118]

The October War of 1973 (also known as the 'Yom Kippur War') was a watershed mo- ment in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the modern Middle East more broadly. It marked the beginning of a US-led peace process between Israel and her Arab neighbours; it introduced oil diplomacy as a new means of leverage in international politics; and it affected irreversibly the development of the European Community and the Palestinian struggle for independence. Moreover, the regional order which emerged...

By looking at the political, military and intelligence components of the Yom Kippur War - and making use of unpublished materials, including recently declassified portions of the Agranat Commission that inquired into the intelligence failure - this work offers interpretations of Israel's conflict with the Arabs. The contributors, Israeli academics, some of them involved in the war, make a contribution to the understanding of this chapter in Israel's history.

The October War or "Yom Kippur" War of 1973 was precipitated by the Arab states of the Middle East, primarily Egypt and Syria, in an attempt to force Israel to the negotiating table. Protected by the territories she had conquered in the 1967 "Six Day War", Israel had little incentive to negotiate. The carefully coordinated attacks launched by Egypt and Syria in the Sinai and on the Golan Heights respectively achieved complete tactical surprise. This work details the Syrian assault on the strategically...

Drawing on his personal records, and on interviews and extensive research conducted...
