Book synopsis

1973: The Road to War generated considerable media attention-and more than a little shock-in Israel, when it was published there in Hebrew in Fall 2012. Israeli historian Yigal Kipnis delved deep into the Israeli and American archives and discovered the degree to which the 1973 war could have been avoided... That is, it could have been avoided if in the months preceding October 1973, Israel's then-Prime Minister Golda Meir, who was facing elections, had not been adamantly opposed to allowing the peace negotiations with Egypt to proceed and if U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, despite some misgivings, had not backed her up in that refusal. Just World Books is pleased to make this significant work available in the English language, at the 40th anniversary of the 1973 war. This edition includes a foreword by William B. Quandt, who served on the staff of the U.S. National Security Council in the 1970s and is a preeminent authority on the 1973 war.
