Uri Bar-Joseph

The Israeli-made docudrama, "The Silence of the Sirens", which is based on Bar-Joseph's book, won the Israeli Academy Award for the best television feature film in 2004.

The publisher of the Egyptian edition of the book, Khaled Lotfy, was sentenced to five years in prison in April 2019 for “spreading rumors and revealing military secrets”.

In 2017 Bar-Joseph co-authored with Rose McDermott, in publishing Intelligence Success and Failure: The Human Factor by Oxford University Press.

Drawing on new data, the book explains why the Israeli Air Force failed to adequately support ground troops during most of the fighting, despite its obvious airborne superiority and state-of-the-art equipment.

The root of the problem, the book claims, lies in the failures of specific individuals, most notably Chief of Military Intelligence Eli Zeira, Chief of the Southern Command Shmuel “Gorodish” Gonen, and Commander of the Israeli Air Force Benny Peled, whose underperformance and grave mistakes played key roles in the army’s overall unpreparedness.
