Based on many formerly undisclosed intelligence and military documents, the secret protocols of discussions on the eve of the war, and interviews with relevant figures, The Watchman Fell Asleep is a compelling account of Israel's intelligence failure before the 1973 Arab attack known as the Yom Kippur War. The Hebrew version of this book was awarded the Tshetshik Prize for Strategic Studies on Israel's Security in 2001, and the Israeli Political Science Association's Best Book Award in 2002. Available here in English for the first time, Uri Bar-Joseph has crafted an authoritative explanation of the most traumatic event in Israel's stormy history and one of the biggest strategic military surprises of the twentieth century.

Le 6 octobre 1973, une nouvelle guerre israélo-arabe embrase le Proche-Orient. Les armées égyptiennes et syriennes déclenchent une offensive surprise contre les forces de défense israéliennes stationnées le long du canal de Suez et du plateau du Golan, bousculant pour la première fois une armée habituée aux succès faciles. Trois semaines plus tard, Américains et Soviétiques parviennent à imposer un cessez-le-feu. La situation géostratégique est durablement bouleversée dans cette région. Près de quarante ans plus tard, cet événement suscite encore bien des interrogations. Pourquoi cette guerre a-t-elle éclaté ? Pourquoi l armée israélienne s est-elle retrouvée initialement en situation d échec ? Quels ont été les facteurs qui lui ont permis de récupérer l initiative des opérations ? Quels rôles les deux grandes puissances ont-elles joué dans le déclenchement, le suivi et le règlement du conflit ? Quelle a été l attitude de l Europe ? Quels ont été les vecteurs de la mondialisation de cette crise régionale ? C est à toutes ces questions que répond cet ouvrage, fruit d une recherche pluridisciplinaire menée dans les centres de documentation les plus spécialisés, mais aussi sur les lieux mêmes des combats. L auteur démontre que cette guerre s est soldée par une victoire militaire pour les Israéliens, par un succès politique pour les Arabes et par une percée diplomatique pour les Américains. Il souligne en outre les enseignements militaires qu il convient de retenir de ce conflit. Cet ouvrage d une remarquable précision, abondamment illustré de cartes, diagrammes et tableaux, constitue la première synthèse publiée sur le sujet depuis la fin de la guerre froide, évitant ainsi les partis pris systématiques nés de l affrontement des blocs. Il voudrait de ce fait apporter au lecteur de nouveaux éléments de réflexion, à l heure où le conflit israélo-arabe occupe toujours le devant de la scène internationale et présente certaines similitudes avec la situation qui prévalait à la veille de la guerre d octobre.

"Assessment of Anwar Sadat and the 1973 War, as well as the event's global implications"-- "In eleven dramatic years, Anwar Sadat changed history--not just that of Egypt, or of the Middle East, but of the entire world. As the architect of the 1973 war against Israel, he gained the support of other Arab nations and inspired the oil embargo that transformed the global economy. Following the war, however, he forever ended Arab aspirations of unity by making peace with Israel. Early in his presidency, Sadat jettisoned Egypt's alliance with the Soviet Union and turned to the United States, thereby giving the West a crucial Cold War victory. Sadat's historic tenure still resonates in the twenty-first century as the Islamic activists--whom he originally encouraged but who opposed his conciliatory policy toward Israel and ultimately played a role in his assassination--continue to foster activism, including the Muslim Brotherhood, today.Thomas W. Lippman was stationed in the Middle East as a journalist during Sadat's presidency and lived in Egypt in the aftermath of the October War. He knew Sadat personally, but only now, after the passage of time and the long-delayed release of the U.S. State Department's diplomatic files, can Lippman assess the full consequences of Sadat's presidency. Hero of the Crossing provides an eye-opening account of the profound reverberations of one leader's political, cultural, and economic maneuverings and legacy"--
