Event Details

This document appears to be page 51 of a memoir (likely by Ehud Barak, given the context of Epstein-related document productions) describing the 'Rotem Crisis' of February 1960. It details an intelligence failure where Israeli Military Intelligence Chief Chaim Herzog learned of Egyptian troop movements from a CIA station chief at a cocktail party rather than through his own channels. The text describes Prime Minister Ben-Gurion's cautious response to avoid war and the author's personal experience as a recruit during the mobilization.
