Though the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eventually emerged as the clear victor in the war, it suffered serious reverses at the outset of hostilities, as well as substantial losses in men and equipment. This book revisits the Yom Kippur War by exploring a number of issues that have not previously received the attention they deserve or that would benefit from a fresh evaluation. Among the issues examined are: the American-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli relationships during the war; the roles of Israeli nuclear weapons and airpower; the IDF's practice of combined arms warfare; the reasons why the IDF turned the tide of the war more quickly on the Golan front than on the Sinai front; the impact of American arms transfers; and the lessons derived from the war by the United States Army and the IDF. This book, which relies heavily on government documents and other primary sources of information, fills important descriptive and analytical gaps in the academic literature about the Yom Kippur War. No other book compares to it in respect of content and interpretation. It is, in short, essential reading for all scholars interested in the diplomatic and military dimensions of the war"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aIsrael-Arab War, 1973$xInfluence 606 $aIsrael-Arab War, 1973$xDiplomatic history 606 $aIsrael-Arab War, 1973 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government$y1967-1993 615 0$aIsrael-Arab War, 1973$xInfluence. 615 0$aIsrael-Arab War, 1973$xDiplomatic history. 615 0$aIsrael-Arab War, 1973. 676 $a956.04/835694 686 $aPOL011010$aHIS027000$2bisacsh 700 $aRodman$b David$0472239 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798863103321 996 $aIsrael in the 1973 Yom Kippur War$93738361 997 $aUNINA
