How was the Yom Kippur War from the Syrian perspective?

by pmUrButt4LifeAdvice

The Israelis, Egyptians, and Jordanians are often mentioned as major players during the war, but there is little mention of the Syrians. In particular, I am wondering about Hafez al-Assad and his role during the war.

If you have any books to recommend on the topic, I would be very greatful. I am particularly looking for the Jordanian and Syrian perspectives.

Thanks!

Bashar al-Assad was eight in 1973. Do you perhaps mean Hafez al-Assad, his father?
