YOM KIPPUR WAR, THE(ISBN=9780805211245) mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

　　In this galvanizing account of the most dramatic of the

Arab-Israeli hostilities, Abraham Rabinovich, who reported the

conflict for the Jerusalem Post, transports us into the midst of

the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

Rabinovich’s masterly narrative begins as Israel convinces itself

there will be no war, while Egypt and Syria plot the two-front

conflict. Then, on Yom Kippur, Saturday, October 6, 1973, we see

Arab armies pouring across the shattered Bar-Lev Line in the Sinai

and through the Golan defenses. Even the famed Israeli air force

could not stop them. On the Golan alone, Syria sent 1,460 tanks

against Israel’s 177, and 115 artillery batteries against Israel’s

11. And for the first time, footsoldiers wielding anti-tank weapons

were able to stop tank charges, while surface-to-air missiles

protected those troops from air attack

Rabinovich takes us into this inferno and into the inner sanctums

of military and political decision making. He allows us to witness

the dramatic turnaround that had the Syrians on the run by the

following Wednesday and the great counterattack across the Suez

Canal that, once begun, took international intervention to

halt.

Using extensive interviews with both participants and observers,

and with access to recently declassified materials, Rabinovich

shows that the drama of the war lay not only in the battles but

also in the apocalyptic visions it triggered in Israel, the hopes

and fears it inspired in the Arab world, the heated conflicts on

both sides about the conduct of the war, and the concurrent

American face-off with the Soviets in Washington, D.C., Moscow, and

the Mediterranean. A comprehensive account of one of the pivotal

conflicts of the twentieth century.

媒体评论

　　"The Yom Kippur War of 1973, exceeding in scope even the 1942

Battle of al-Alamein, has found its ideal chronicler. Abraham

Rabinovich has long enjoyed a distinguished reputation for the

acuity of his insights into Middle Eastern political and military

issues. Nevertheless, while his earlier articles and books have

been widely read and praised, the current volume may well be his

magnum opus. Its revelations are astonishing. Its prose is

gripping. Its conclusions, richly documented and austerely

objective, are intensely relevant to the Middle Eastern crisis of

our own day."

　　--Howard M. Sachar, author of A History of Israel From the Rise

of Zionism to Our Own Time

　　“As no one before, Abraham Rabinovich recounts the whole story of

the 1973 Yom Kippur War, that most elusive round of the

Arab-Israeli conflict. Based primarily on Israeli sources, his

well-written history skillfully covers everything from the

individual soldier’s experience to the deep implications of the

war."

　　--Daniel Pipes, author of Miniatures: Views of Islamic and Middle

Eastern Politics
