His lone protest grew until thousands thronged the streets leading to the resignation of two of Israel's the most revered politicians and the fall of the Labour Party after 29 years in power. The Bar Lev Line had claimed two more casualties but there were many others as survivors of the Bar Lev Line and the prisoners of war in particular succumbed to post traumatic stress disorder after their ghastly ordeal. It was as if the Bar Lev Line had become a symbol of the military and political failures of the October War.
Thanks to his assignment with UNTSO, Major Stuart Bracken USMC had unrivalled access to the remnants of the Bar Lev Line and his researches have been fundamental in the production of this book.

As with much of the Bar Lev Line, simplicity of construction and materials was fundamental to allow rapid installation and repair as well as to reduce overall procurement costs.
