I find the 1973 attack on the Jews stunning because only a few hours before the attack would begin, Golda Meir was wondering why the Russians were leaving from Egypt and Syria and she decided that the reason could only have been that they may have heard false information that the Jews would be attacking the Arabs – but the idea that the Arabs would be the ones attacking the Jews would never even enter her brain! This is a fascinating conversation on the phone between Kissinger and the Russian ambassador to America.
