Hosni Mubarak reviews Egyptian soldiers during a military parade on the 25th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.

Only one president did not come from its ranks, the late Islamist leader Mohamed Morsi who was elected but deposed in 2013 by then-army general Sisi.
Mubarak -- Sadat’s air force commander in 1973 -- presented himself as a “hero of the aerial campaign”, Aclimandos told AFP.Young Egyptians “don’t have access to serious books in Arabic on the issue”, and only “people who lived through the war remember the fear and the constraints of wartime economy”, the historian added.
Seeking to restore a sense of dignity as well as its image in the Arab world and the broader Cold War-era Non-Aligned Movement, Egypt made Sinai the heart of its 1973 military campaign. The events left Egypt’s military “an army of victory, contrary to the army of defeat of 1967,“ said Amr al-Shobaki, a political analyst with the Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies.The October war confirmed Egypt’s exit from the Soviet Union’s sphere of security influence, “and secured its position within a wider security paradigm in the West,“ said H. A. Hellyer of the Royal United Services Institute in London.
