The surprise of the Yom Kippur War rivals that of the other two
major strategic surprises in the 20th century Operation Barbarossa,
the 1941 German surprise attack on the Soviet Union and the bombing
of Pearl Harbor. The major difference between these events is that
Israeli intelligence had a lot more and better quality information
leading up to the attack than did the Americans or the Soviet Union
prior to those attacks. Why, then, was the beginning of the war
such a surprise? The sudden eruption of the Yom Kippur War in 1973
took Israel and the world by surprise. While many scholars have
tried to explain why Israel was caught unawares despite its
sophisticated military intelligence services, Dalia Gavriely-Nuri
looks beyond the military, intelligence, and political explanations
to a cultural explanation. Israeli Culture on the Road to the Yom
Kippur War reveals that the culture that evolved in Israel between
the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War played a large role in the
surprise. Gavriely-Nuri lays out the cultural environment at the
time to show that an attack of any kind would have been experienced
as a strategic surprise despite the amount of intelligence
available.
