The War in October: What Happened in 1973?

Al Jazeera examines three weeks of war from which both Arabs and Israelis claimed to emerge victorious. ‘The War in October’ is a landmark, three-part documentary series, marking the 50th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. The story of the war has never been thoroughly explored. What exactly happened in those three weeks in October 1973? Both Arabs and Israelis still claim to be the victors today. The films feature men and women who planned and fought in the three-week war that took place on both the Egyptian and Syrian fronts. Egyptians, Israelis, Syrians and other participants in the Iraqi, Jordanian, Algerian, Moroccan and Palestinian militaries are all included. The series also hears from diplomats and defence officials from the US, the former Soviet Union and Europe.
