The 1973 Yom Kippur War marked a turning point in the “special
relationship” between the United States and Israel. While
previous U.S. administrations had taken an even hand in the Middle
East, the action saw American support of Israel become
unconditional. A massive airlift of military hardware to Israel
brought the U.S. and the Soviet Union closer the conflict. As the
war-just two weeks in duration-played out along the Suez Canal,
U.S. Vice President Spiro Agnew was forced to resign amidst bribery
allegations. Watergate crescendoed, resulting in President Nixon's
mental near-breakdown. Despite Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's
efforts to supply arms to Israel, he was stymied by resistance in
the State Department, which some saw as threatening to result in an
Arab victory. Ostensibly a U.S. foreign policy success, the war led
directly to the 1974 oil crisis and a permanent rift in
U.S.-Israeli relations. Drawing on Kissinger's telephone
conversations and other recently declassified documents, this book
tells the story of how the secretary became the chief architect of
America's Middle East policy, and how his Cold War strategy played
a critical role in the decision to pursue active military
involvement.
