'_A scrupulously researched account...the most authoritative yet to
have appeared_.' **Financial Times** '_Certainly the best account
of the war from the Israeli standpoint that has yet appeared or is
likely to appear for some years to come_.' **Basil Collier, New
York Times Book Review** This is the authoritative account of the
Israeli Army s performance in the bitter Yom Kippur War of 1973\.
The origins of the war in the turbulent history of competing powers
in the Middle East are fully explored, as are the build-up of Arab
forces that almost caught Israel by surprise, and the realisation
of the Israeli leadership that they would have to fight against
overwhelming odds for the survival of their state. An analysis of
the political implications of the conflict brings this epic tale to
a close. A gripping narrative, punctuated by first-hand accounts
and interviews with combatants, _The War of Atonement_ is full of
drama and tales of inspirational bravery. For this edition Chaim
Herzog s son, Colonel Michael Herzog, has written an Introduction
that places the book in the context of his father s achievements
and gives a revealing insight of the man himself. This is the most
comprehensive work on a conflict that has had major implications
for our own troubled times.
