Book Review: Israel's Close Call
(New York Times) David C. Unger - The lessons of the Yom Kippur War have much to teach Israelis, Arabs, and all who yearn for a comprehensive Middle East peace. Two new books re-examine the events and lessons of the war. Abraham Rabinovich, the author of The Yom Kippur War, is an American who moved to Jerusalem in 1967 and covered the 1973 war for the Jerusalem Post. Howard Blum, who has written The Eve of Destruction, is a contributing editor of Vanity Fair. Both aim to knit together the military, strategic, and political levels of the war much as Michael B. Oren's Six Days of War did for the June 1967 war.
