Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East

Michael B. Oren’s Six Days of War is the most comprehensive history ever published of the six days of intense Arab-Israeli fighting in the summer of 1967 that transformed the world.

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 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.

Oren spotlights all the participants—Arab, Israeli, Soviet, and American—as well as all the world leaders involved in this earth-shaking clash.
