Synopsis

"Operation Spark". The fourth Middle East war, called the Yom Kippur War by the Israelis, was nicknamed "Operation Spark" by the Arabs. It sparked off a crisis in détente. The eclipse of Western Europe. A world energy shortage. The first face-to-face peace negotiations between Arab and Israeli. And opened a new phase in the struggle for the Middle East.
