There was also one of "Songs of the Yom Kippur War"; same kind of thing: 
mostly pop and folk songs, many about peace and about patriotism, not much 
militarism as I recall. They were released in Israel on LP after each war; I 
don't know if they were ever reissued or put on CD, or if they are available 
now.
