Drawing on extensive investigative journalism, the Insight Team of the Sunday Times reconstructs the war with meticulous precision, tracing the political miscalculations, intelligence failures, and extraordinary battlefield reversals that defined the conflict — from the catastrophic early losses on the Golan Heights to Israel's dramatic armoured counter-thrust across the Suez Canal.\n\nBeyond the frontlines, the book presents a rigorous analysis of the superpower brinkmanship that brought the United States and Soviet Union to the edge of direct confrontation, and the seismic oil embargo that sent shockwaves through the global economy. Written with the authoritative clarity and investigative depth for which the Sunday Times Insight Team became legendary, this account stands as an essential document of modern warfare and Cold War politics. A gripping and sobering portrait of how quickly the world can be brought to the brink, it leaves the reader questioning just how fragile the peace that followed truly was.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216210960603,"sku":"2026200013106-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/43616aa9-8b19-4e09-adbe-9acd30f2340c.png?v=1788405422","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013106-secondhand-the-yom-kippur-war","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
