Every crisis that has ripped through this region in the ensuing decades, from the Yom Kippur War of 1973 to the ongoing \u003ci\u003eintifada\u003c\/i\u003e, is a direct consequence of those six days of fighting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Writing with a novelist’s command of narrative and a historian’s grasp of fact and motive, Michael B. Oren reconstructs both the lightning-fast action on the battlefields and the political shocks that electrified the world. Extraordinary personalities—Moshe Dayan and Gamal Abdul Nasser, Lyndon Johnson and Alexei Kosygin—rose and toppled from power as a result of this war; borders were redrawn; daring strategies brilliantly succeeded or disastrously failed in a matter of hours. And the balance of power changed—in the Middle East and in the world. A towering work of history and an enthralling human narrative, \u003ci\u003eSix Days of War\u003c\/i\u003e is the most important book on the Middle East conflict to appear in a generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eSix Days of War\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Powerful . . .
