Synopsis

In June 1967, a series of escalations between Israel and its Arab neighbors culminated in one of the fastest and most decisive military campaigns in modern history — the Six-Day War. Michael B. Oren reconstructs the conflict through newly accessible archival records from all sides, including Israeli, Egyptian, Syrian, Jordanian, Soviet, and American sources. The book traces how a buildup of tensions led to an unprecedented six days of fighting that fundamentally reshaped the borders and political landscape of the Middle East.
