Israeli culture on the road to the Yom Kippur War / Dalia Gavriely-Nuri.

Contents Part I. The historical and theoretical context -- Part II. Normalization mechanisms in Israeli culture, 1967-1973.
General note"The sudden eruption of the Yom Kippur War in 1973 took Israel--and the world--by surprise. While many scholars have tried to explain why Israel was caught unawares despite its sophisticated military intelligence services, Dalia Gavriely-Nuri looks beyond the military, intelligence, and political explanations to a cultural explanation. Israeli Culture on the Road to the Yom Kippur War reveals that the culture that evolved in Israel between the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War played a large role in the surprise. Gavriely-Nuri lays out the cultural environment at the time to show that an attack of any kind would have been experienced as a strategic surprise despite the amount of intelligence available"--Provided by publisher.
