{"product_id":"2940148987369","title":"UNDERSTANDING STRATEGIC SUCCESS AND TACTICAL FAILURE IN 1973: AN EXAMINATION FROM A SPATIAL-TEMPORAL PERSPECTIVE","description":"On 6 October 1973 at 2:00 pm, the world witnessed a conflict that continues to be discussed and researched within the professional military community. Military powers of the period would observe the event and modify their existing practices of combined arms warfare with an emphasis on the relationship between infantry and armor. Military institutions pondered the actions and results of an asymmetrical conflict in which the stronger force was surprised and attacked. Students of military history often overlooked the asymmetry in logic that existed between Israel and Egypt that facilitated the dichotomous strategic-tactical results. This monograph is an exploration into the asymmetric logic of President Sadat that rejected the accepted paradigm of the destruction of one’s enemy. His logic called on Near East cultural influences of space time and conflict that allowed him to envision a different type of conflict to change the regional political inertia of 1973. The author relies on an anthropological perspective to examine the role culture can play in the construction of a creative and imaginative strategic aim to achieve a distinct aim, and isolating the outcome of the mechanical action. The monograph represents an opportunity for the Western military student to deconstruct previous held notions of the levels of war and their interactions.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109033263344,"sku":"2940148987369","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148987369_p0.jpg?v=1763711033","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148987369","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
