The State of Israel faced one of its most difficult challenges during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Relying heavily on government documents and other primary sources of information, this book helps to fill important descriptive and analytical gaps in the academic literature about the Yom Kippur War. This book explores a number of issues, including: 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 impact of American arms transfers; and the lessons derived from the war by the United States Army and the IDF. | Israel In The 1973 Yom Kippur War by David Rodman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
