In October 1973, the sands of the Sinai and the heights of the Golan erupted in one of the most intense and technologically sophisticated conflicts of the twentieth century — the Yom Kippur War — and Weapons of the Israeli Arab War 1973 stands as a definitive technical record of the armaments that decided its outcome. Edited by S. L. Mayer and Bernard Fitzsimons, this authoritative volume catalogues the full arsenal deployed by Israeli, Egyptian, and Syrian forces, presenting detailed analyses of tanks, aircraft, missiles, artillery, and small arms that clashed in a war that forever changed modern military doctrine. The work argues, with meticulous precision, that the 1973 conflict was a watershed moment in the evolution of combined-arms warfare, illustrating how Soviet-supplied surface-to-air missiles neutralised Israeli air superiority and how anti-tank weapons redefined armoured tactics on the battlefield. Fitzsimons and Mayer draw on technical specifications and operational accounts to chronicle a war in which technology proved as decisive as strategy. For military historians, arms analysts, and enthusiasts of modern conflict alike, this volume remains an indispensable reference — a cold, clear-eyed examination of the machines of war that left an indelible mark on Middle Eastern geopolitics and raised urgent questions about the future of conventional warfare.
