{"product_id":"1973-the-road-to-war-9781935982302","title":"1973: The Road to War","description":"\u003cp\u003eIsraeli historian Yigal Kipnis delves deep into the Israeli and American archives and reveals in this book that the big October 1973 war between Israel and its Arab neighbors could almost certainly have been avoided. Avoided, that is, if in the months preceding October 1973, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, who was facing elections, had not been so determined to block the ongoing peace negotiations with Egypt, and if US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (despite his misgivings) had not backed up her diplomatic hard line. Kipnis contradicts the conventional wisdom, arguing convincingly that it was Israeli political intransigence, not a failure of Israel's military intelligence, that set the stage for the 1973 war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Hebrew-language original of \u003ci\u003e1973: The Road to War\u003c\/i\u003e made great waves when it was published in Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Just World Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935982302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.78d","brand":"Yigal Kipnis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53241030639797,"sku":"9781935982302","price":23.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f65bd5d4-108d-48e2-9e1a-c7b57b2369d5.jpg?v=1788993943","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/1973-the-road-to-war-9781935982302","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
