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.

Good Quality for the Price – Solid Everyday Set
ve been using this knife set for a little while now, and overall I’m really happy with it—especially for the price. It comes with everything you need for everyday cooking, which made it perfect for me starting fresh in the kitchen. The knives are sharp right out of the box and handle basic tasks like cutting vegetables, meat, and bread really well. I also like that it includes a sharpener and a block to keep everything organized. The only thing I would say is that they may need to be sharpened more often with regular use, but that’s expected at this price point. Overall, it’s a solid, affordable set that gets the job done and looks nice on the counter.
