Even The Famed Israeli Air Force Could Not Stop Them. On The Golan Alone, Syria Sent 1,460 Tanks Against Israels 177, And 115 Artillery Batteries Against Israels 11. And For The First Time, Footsoldiers Wielding Antitank Weapons Were Able To Stop Tank Charges, While Surfacetoair Missiles Protected Those Troops From Air Attackrabinovich Takes Us Into This Inferno And Into The Inner Sanctums Of Military And Political Decision Making. He Allows Us To Witness The Dramatic Turnaround That Had The Syrians On The Run By The Following Wednesday And The Great Counterattack Across The Suez Canal That, Once Begun, Took International Intervention To Halt.Using Extensive Interviews With Both Participants And Observers, And With Access To Recently Declassified Materials, Rabinovich Shows That The Drama Of The War Lay Not Only In The Battles But Also In The Apocalyptic Visions It Triggered In Israel, The Hopes And Fears It Inspired In The Arab World, The Heated Conflicts On Both Sides About The Conduct Of The War, And The Concurrent American Faceoff With The Soviets In Washington, D.C., Moscow, And The Mediterranean. A Comprehensive Account Of One Of The Pivotal Conflicts Of The Twentieth Century.
