The Yom Kippur War: And the Airlift Strike That Saved IsraelIt's usually called the Yom Kippur War. Or sometimes the October War.

It's usually called the Yom Kippur War. Or sometimes the October War. The players that surround it are familiar: Sadat and Mubarak, Meir and Sharon, Nixon and Kissinger, Brezhnev and Dobyrnin. It was a war that brought Arab and Jew into vicious conflict. A war in which Israel almost unleashed her nuclear arsenal and set two superpowers on a treacherous course of nuclear escalation.

And a war that eventually brought peace. But a peace fraught with delicate tensions, disputed borders, and a legacy of further bloodshed.

The Yom Kippur War is a spellbinding chronicle of the international chess game that was played out in October 1973. It is a story of diplomacy and military might that accounts for many of the dilemmas faced in the present-day Middle East.

This is a war that Israel never thought was possible. Surprised by the fury and excellent execution of the Arab onslaught, and perhaps more than a little complacent, Israel suddenly found itself on the point of losing a war because of a lack of ammunition, planes and tanks. The United States, after much vacillation, finally elected to help Israel, beginning a tremendous airlift (code name: Operation Nickel Grass) which incurred the wrath of the Arab states, and their sponsor, the Soviet Union.

Fortunately the airlift came just in time for Israeli ground forces to stabilize their positions and eventually turn the tide in the Sinai and Golan Heights. And it was all made possible by an operation that dwarfed the Berlin Airlift and the Soviets' simultaneous efforts in Egypt and Syria.

The Yom Kippur War is bound to become the definitive history of a war that quite literally approached Armageddon.

Great Study Bible
Format: Imitation Leather, Format: Imitation Leather
I’m very happy with this Amplified Study Bible. First the large print makes it so much easier to read than the comfort print Bibles. I love study Bibles. I have 3 different translations I like to reference. I don’t think The Amplified Bible is for everyone. My husband doesn’t care for it. Although he will ask me to cross reference scripture out of it at times. I love how this Bible explains and expands the meaning in scripture. It makes it easier to understand some of the scriptures. The Study Notes are amazing. Giving even more context and insight into scripture. The Theological Notes are great they give scripture a whole new depth. I appreciate the Book Introduction, they help set the stage for what’s taking place in that particular book. The cross reference system of this Bible helps with cross referencing. The Full color Maps and Bible Lands are wonderful. They help the reader to be able to visualize where things take place. The quality seems very good. The cover seems well made. The pages feel like they’re made from high quality paper. My highlighters don’t bleed through to the other side. Overall I’m very happy with this Study Bible and love having this Bible in my collection.

Great Bible to add to your library
Format: Imitation Leather
The Bible reads as it is described to read. I have found one typo in the text in the three days since I received it: what should be a "they" is written "thy." 2200+ pages. Great companion text to fill in words whose omission may cause a subject or object confusion in verses. The Bible provides in-text dates and lineage to frame the narrative. I am well-pleased with the purchase.
