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.
