Description
"October 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, a conflict that shaped the modern Middle East. The war was a trauma for Israel, a dangerous superpower showdown, and, following the oil embargo, a pivotal reordering of the global economic order. The Jewish State came shockingly close to defeat. A panicky cabinet meeting debated the use of nuclear weapons. After the war, Prime Minister Golda Meir resigned in disgrace, and a 9/11-style commission investigated the 'debacle.' But, argues Uri Kaufman, from the perspective of a half century, the war can be seen as a pivotal victory for Israel"--,Provided by publisher.
