- Quandt endorsed our thesis about the “expulsion” when it first appeared: “where I am
most willing to cede ground to a new interpretation is on the issue of the ‘expulsion’ of
Soviet military advisers ... [Ginor and Remez] convincingly show that the Soviet person-
nel who left Eg ypt were the combat troops that had come during the War of Attrition,
not the advisers. The latter remained and were present at the time of the October 1973
war. This seems like a useful correction to conventional accounts.” Review of Ashton, The
Cold War in the Middle East, in Journal of Cold War Studies, 1, 1 (Winter 2009), p. 159.
In his 2006 study, Dima Adamsky agrees with our previously published finding : “to this
day, scholars mistakenly define Sadat’s July 1972 step as ‘an expulsion of Soviet advisers,’
when in fact the advisers remained in Eg ypt.” But he retains the concept of a unilateral
Eg yptian move. Dima Adamsky, “‘Zero Hour for the Bears’: Inquiring into the Soviet
