"In this fine work, Guy Laron, a young historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, takes a fresh look at the war and its causes. . . . Like all the best history, Laron’s book is studded with fascinating facts and anecdotes that shed light on his theories."—Michael Sheridan, Sunday Times

Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. Reprint. Insight into the war that in just six days reshaped the Middle East and established the state of Israel. New trade softcover in printed wraps. Black and white photo plates. Contains author's notes, bibliography and an index. 384 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking! An enthralling, big-picture history that examines the Six-Day War, its causes, and its enduring consequences against its global context One fateful week in June 1967 redrew the map of the Middle East. Many scholars have documented how the Six-Day War unfolded, but little has been done to explain why the conflict happened at all. As we approach its fiftieth anniversary, Guy Laron refutes the widely accepted belief that the war was merely the result of regional friction, revealing the crucial roles played by American and Soviet policies in the face of an encroaching global economic crisis, and restoring Syria's often overlooked centrality to events leading up to the hostilities. The Six-Day War effectively sowed the seeds for the downfall of Arab nationalism, the growth of Islamic extremism, and the animosity between Jews and Palestinians. In this important new work, Laron's fresh interdisciplinary perspective and extensive archival research offer a significant reassessment of a conflict--and the trigger-happy generals behind it--that continues to shape the modern world.
