| 520 | |a On October 6, 1973, Israel's Northern Command was surprised by the thunder of cannon fire and the sight of dense, black smoke. A Syrian force of 1,400 tanks supported by artillery and air power had attacked from the north while the Egyptian military invaded the Sinai Peninsula in the south. Although Israel ultimately prevailed, the Yom Kippur War (or Ramadan War, as it is known in Arab countries) shattered the illusion of Israeli invincibility. Inside Israel's Command offers a definitive history of the northern theater of this key conflict. Led by Israel's foremost scholar of the war, Dani Asher, the contributors--Major General Yitzhak Hofi, Major General Uri Simchoni, Brigadier General Avraham Bar David, and Colonel Hagai Mann--all held key positions during the fighting. Together, they offer fresh insight into the pivotal battles that changed the course of the war as well as the disastrous effects of a flawed postwar evaluation that adversely affected the careers of several high-ranking intelligence officials and the course of defense strategic planning thereafter. Featuring rare lists of the official citations of soldiers who were decorated for their performance in combat, this seminal study contributes significantly to our understanding a troubled region. -- Back cover. | ||
