To this day, the consequences of this war are still prevalent in Israel, in terms of drafting security policies and the military doctrine.After the war, new identities were formed in the Israeli civil society, which began to function as active agents in shaping security policy. These players are not a unique Israeli case, yet their actions in Israel serve as a case study that illuminates their significant impact in other countries as well. This is due to the fact that the Israeli Laboratory is a liberal democratic society living with an ongoing conflict; it has a mandatory army that is sensitive to fluctuations in public opinion, culture and the media; and issues of national security and military conduct are always a top public concern.

This important volume analyzes these relations by tackling the key social actors that played a role in transforming the way politicians and leaders were appraised, in changing media representations of war and soldiering, in shaping how different social groups reacted to the conflict and in developing new forms of mourning and social memory of fallen soldiers. The book will be a very useful source for scholars and students wishing to understand the changes that contemporary Israel has undergone. -- Eyal Ben-Ari, Kinneret Center for Society, Security and Peace\u003cbr\u003eA brilliant collection shedding fresh light on one the most traumatic events in Israel’s history. A must reading for anyone seeking to understand the changing nature of Israeli society in general, and its approach to regional reconciliation in particular. -- Efraim Karsh, King's College London \u0026amp; Bar-Ilan University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Introduction Udi Lebel and Eyal Lewin Chapter 2: The Combatants’ Protest after the Yom Kippur War and the Transformation of the Protest Culture in Israel Eithan Orkibi Chapter 3: The Significance of the Yom Kippur War as a Turning Point in the Religious-Zionist Society Nissim Leon Chapter 4: From Domination to Competition: The Yom Kippur War (1973) and the Formation of a New Grief Community Udi Lebel Chapter 5: Not Just Intermediaries: The Mediatization of Security Affairs in Israel since 1973 Rafi Mann Chapter 6: The 1973 War and the Formation of Israeli POW Policy: A  Watershed Line?
