An interview with Abraham Rabinovich.
Abe discusses his book, The Yom Kippur War, in this interview by Connie Martinson. He describes the events leading up to the war and the reluctance of Israeli officials to believe that war was imminent even though the soldiers on the front lines could clearly see the Egyptian and Syrian armies preparing to attack. He talks about his five years of research and shares his experiences interviewing the men who fought and their commanders. Among the generals described is Ariel Sharon, who led Israel’s crossing of the Suez Canal.
