Description
Israel seized the strategically critical Golan Heights from Syria during the 1967 Six Day War in an audacious and determined operation, yet when the Yom Kippur War broke out the Israeli military were exposed by the effectiveness of the newly confident and dangerous Syrian army. In the Golan only luck, herculean Israeli efforts and tactical misjudgements by the Syrians were to allow the Israelis to maintain control. In this book, three pivotal encounters in the Golan are assessed, supported by artwork, maps and photographs, tracking how both sides' forces evolved over the period.
Bound to appeal to all those interested in the evolving nature of warfare during the Arab-Israeli conflict, this fully illustrated study pits the soldiers of Israel and Syria against one another during the battles for the Golan Heights in 1967 and 1973, analysing how the lessons learned were to change the tactics and approach used by forces on both sides of the conflict.
