The Ramadan War 1973
Abstract
Naturally, as in any combat, the two participants view the events differently, both because of their objective and interests and because of the facts known uniquely to them. Since the Arab participants in these wars have published little, and their side of the conflict was not covered in the Western press in the detail in which the Israeli side was, there has not been an equal opportunity for Westerners to evaluate it adequately, or even to understand the Arab position. That is why the cornerstone in this research paper is to highlight the Fourth Round between Israel and some of the Arab countries. Remarks on some historical aspects of this war from the Egyptian point of view will be presented, attempting to articulate the facts far away from any propaganda or false facts. Maybe the painful fact to me, as an Egyptian soldier, in this paper is that the United States was supporting the other side. Subsequently, the Americans have an incorrect idea about the Ramadan War, The October 1973 War.
