In Israel and the West, it is called the Six Day War. In the Arab world, it is known as the June War, or simply as “the Setback.” Never has a conflict so short, unforeseen, and largely unwanted by both sides so transformed the world. The Yom Kippur War, the war in Lebanon, the Camp David accords, the controversy over Jerusalem and Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the intifada, and the rise of Palestinian terror are all part of the outcome of those six days of intense Arab-Israeli fighting in the summer of 1967.

Writing with a novelist’s command of narrative and a historian’s grasp of fact and motive, Michael B. Oren spotlights all the participants—Arab, Israeli, Soviet, and American—that were involved in this earth-shaking clash. Drawing on thousands of top-secret documents and exclusive personal interviews, he recreates the regional and international context that, by the late 1960s, virtually assured an Arab-Israeli conflagration.

A towering work of history and an enthralling human narrative, Six Days of War is the most important book on the Middle East conflict to appear in a generation.

Mycket informativ och tydlig genomgång av Sexdagarskriget samt kort om bakgrund och efterspel. Bra start för att bli insatt. Min enda reservation är vad jag uppfattar som möjlig partiskhet i narrativet å den israeliska sidan.

Intressant om 6-dagars kriget. Lite slagsida mot att sympatisera med Israel, men generellt informativ. Visste inte mkt innan men nu lite mer informerad!

Som det framstår väl dokumenterad och underbyggd från ett otal olika källor (utom möjligen sovjet, av kanske förklarliga skäl) beskrivs främst det politiska och personberoende spelet som ledde till 6-dagarskriget och dess slumpmässiga hastiga förlopp och resultat. Ingen förenklad historia dör en viss part avvisas som varande den ”goda eller onda”. Mest spännande är, lite oväntat, diplomatiens långsamma kvarnars makande fram till krigsutbrottet. Personliga insikter och detaljerade beskrivningar blandas med analyser på ett som jag uppfattar det balanserat sätt. Ger perspektiv på den nuvarande situationen.
