DVD for Windows XP Professional & Windows 98 (TES Inc)
In October 1973, on the holy Yom Kippur day (the fasting Day of Atonement), was also Israe's darkest day in history, a day of infamy. It was a day Israel's largest enemies joined together to strike her in a deadly surprise attack that once again put this tiny proud nation again in a extermination threat. Israel was pathetically outnumbered and against far more advanced Soviet weapons. The entire populace of Israel - immigrants of every generation and from every walk of life- rushed to the fronts to defend the Jewish Homeland from the imminent threat, a threat was only removed when the IDF was just 50 miles from Cairo and the Soviet Red army threatened to intervene. However, it was Israe's most fatal war. The story carries you through those suspenseful days - from warning to ceasefire, with detailed maps, clearly illustrated attack points and up-close footage from both the home and the war fronts.- On Yom Kippur, the most sacred Jewish fasting day, 1973, the entire populace of Israel rushed from their synagogues to the battlefronts of what was to become Israel's most fatal war. Yet despite the enemy's defeat, this war has left a lasting scar in the hearts and minds of the Jewish people worldwide. (50min) English, French

Hardcover (320 pages) by Walter J. Boyne (Thomas Dunne Books)
October 6, 1973. Yom Kippur. The holiest day of the Jewish calendar. At 2 p.m., a blinding shower of explosives rained down on a collection of concrete bunkers sunk in the Sinai sand. Minutes later, 600 Egyptian tanks rolled onto pontoon bridges to cross the Suez Canal. Simultaneously, 100 Syrian MiGs and Sukhoi bombers screamed through the skies above the Golan Heights. Burning at both ends, Israel was caught completely by surprise. The United States, after much vacillation, finally elected to help Israel, beginning a monumental airlift, code named: Operation Nickel Grass. In two weeks time, the U. S. armed forces would be on Def Con III and nuclear tensions would be mounting within the Kremlin.The Two OClock War is a minute-by-minute account of that fateful October when Israel was almost lost and the two superpowers stared down the barrel of the nuclear gun.
