In Return to Sinai, Maj Gen D.K. Palit analyzes the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, particularly the surprise Egyptian offensive across the Suez Canal. The book provides detailed battle reconstructions, command decisions, and geopolitical context, drawing lessons for both conventional and unconventional warfare. With India’s own military challenges in mind, Palit contextualizes the war’s implications for regional power balances and operational readiness. It is as much a military history as it is a strategic reflection.
