Reviews

This admirable book is likely to be the last word on the six-day war for a long time The Sunday Times June 2002 the most detailed, the most comprehensive and by far the best-documented history that we have on this short but fateful war The Guardian most comprehensive history yet... Six Days of War scores highly in telling an extremely complicated story within a narrative which despite being loaded with a crushing volume of research reads at times like the breeziest blockbuster... Oren's narrative is at its most gripping during the day-by-day account of the war Financial Times
