In the years following the war many studies addressed the internal and international political background prior to the war, attempting to determine causes and steps by political players and parties in Israel, Egypt and the United States. But to date there has been no comprehensive study based on archival materials and other primary sources. Classified documents from that period have recently become available and it is now possible to examine in depth a crucial period in Middle East history generally and Israeli history in particular. The authors provide a penetrating and insightful viewpoint on the question that lies at the heart of the Israeli polity and military: Was an opportunity missed to prevent the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War? The book provides surprising answers to long-standing issues: How did National Security Adviser, Henry Kissinger, succeed in torpedoing the efforts of the State Department to bring about an interim agreement between Israel and Egypt in 1971?; Would that agreement have allowed Israel to hold on to most of the Sinai Peninsula for many years and at the same time avert the outbreak of the war; Did Golda Meir reject any diplomatic initiative that came up for discussion in the years preceding the war?; Was the White House's Middle East policy throughout 1973 a catalyst for war breaking out? 606 $aIsrael-Arab War, 1973$xCauses 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zIsrael 607 $aIsrael$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zEgypt 607 $aEgypt$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1969-1974 615 0$aIsrael-Arab War, 1973$xCauses. 676 $a956.04 700 $aVanetik$b Boaz$01687721 701 $aShalom$b Zaki$0478756 701 $aSolomon$b Guy$01687722 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823270303321 996 $aThe Nixon Administration and the Middle East peace process, 1969-1973$94061419 997 $aUNINA
