The Yom Kippur War - 30 Years On Bibliographical Assistance: Irena Chornaya |
Introduction Yom Kippur: a time of reflection and introspection on one's deeds. Thirty years after the Yom Kippur War, it is important that we should be able to reflect on its place in Israel's history and relate to its significance, beyond the immediate past. There are many perspectives on the Yom Kippur War of October 1973 and many books have been written on the intelligence, military and international diplomatic issues, others on the socio-political changes in Israel, plus a few articles on bereavement. Far less has been researched about the medium and long-term overall social impact of the war on families and communities in Israel, for example, or on how to address the war in the educational setting. We bring below some new activities and a revised edition of the Chronology, Implications - Aftermath and most of the educational activity ideas in 1993, Rak Reka #18, The Yom Kippur War Twenty Years On: A Watershed in Retrospect ©, which appeared as the Oslo Accords were made public, together with its Thematic Bibliography and Filmography. Best of the Web, Thematic Bibliography, and recommended articles and books appear separately. |
