The article discusses Egyptian preparations for a war with Israel in 1973, including war planning, complete doctrine change, counterintelligence preparations, and exercises for crossing the Suez Canal. The Egyptian war plan worked perfectly well in the early stages of the war. This is one of the rare examples of exceptionally successful preparation for war.
