Despite the stunning and complete defeat of three Arab armies – Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian – in the 1967 Six Day War, how was it that Israel failed to anticipate and prepare adequately for the assault on two fronts some six years later?

In addition to 35 years of military experience, Colonel (Ret’d) Tony Malkin also studied armoured warfare formally in Hamburg for two years. He has also conducted five battlefield tours addressing the Yom Kippur War.
