The 1973 Arab-Israeli War (inbunden, eng)

The October 1973 Middle East War transformed the region’s politics and had a huge impact on the international political system as a whole. Arguments about the causes, effects, and meaning of the war and about why it ran its course the way it did have played a key role in shaping the understanding of the Arab-Israeli conflict, of American policy in the Middle East, and of many other major issues.

For the 50^th anniversary of the war, this book grapples with these issues in an objective way by using the mass of declassified material that has recently become available.
