| 5. | Campaign 118: The Yom Kippur War 1973 (1) The Golan Heights
Paperback (96 pages) by Simon Dunstan (Osprey Publishing)
At 1345hrs on 6 October 1973, Israeli spotters in the observation post atop Mount Hermon saw Syrian gunners below them removing the camouflage nets from their guns. Ten minutes later shells began to rain down on Israeli positions all along the Golan Heights – The Yom Kippur War had begun. The shock Syrian attack caught the Israelis by surprise and by the afternoon of 7 October a Syrian brigade was less than 10km from the Sea of Galilee. Simon Dunstan describes in detail how amid desperate and bitter fighting the Israeli forces managed to turn the tide on the Golan Heights.

| 6. | The Two O'Clock War: The 1973 Yom Kippur Conflict and the Airlift That Saved Israel
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.

| 7. | The Egyptian Strategy for the Yom Kippur War: An Analysis
Paperback (286 pages) by Dani Asher (McFarland)
This volume examines the military strategy and issues that Egyptian war planners faced during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Of major interest is the relationship between the political and military leaders and how that affected the buildup and course of the conflict. Taking this as a starting place, the author concentrates on how Soviet military doctrinal changes presented themselves between the conclusion of the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War.

| 10. | Centurion vs T-55: Yom Kippur War 1973 (Duel)
Paperback (80 pages) by Simon Dunstan (Osprey Publishing)
Conceived at the height of World War II, the British Centurion and the Soviet T-55 were initially expected to counter the formidable Panther and Tiger tanks of Germany. But as the Cold War unfolded, these machines prepared instead for the coming struggle between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Though they never fought in Europe, these two tanks became the mainstay of the Cold War's proxy forces around the world. From Korea to the Middle East and on to Angola, these two armored combatants clashed repeatedly, reaching their crescendo on the Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War where 177 Centurions of the IDF took on a vastly superior Arab force. This book compares the design, development and deployment of these classic tanks, and analyses their battlefield performance. Presented with highly detailed digital artwork, this is a tightly focused study of two of the Cold War's first main battle tanks.- ISBN13: 9781846033698
