Description

The Six-Day War was an extraordinary human drama. It swept up a generation of Israelis and Arabs whose children still cannot live peacefully in the world the war created.

Today, Israel is the superpower of the region. It has nuclear weapons but has never been able to digest the land it swallowed in 1967.

However big its army, it will never be at peace or feel secure until the future of this land is settled.

Thirty-six years after the end of the six days of fighting, after thousands more deaths and the failure of years of negotiation to try to reach a political settlement, Israelis and Palestinians are fighting once again on the streets in the West Bank and Gaza.

It is still a low-level conflict, but if another full-blown Middle East war breaks out, its roots will lie in those six days in June 1967.

Drawing on his experiences as the BBC’s former Middle East correspondent, and building on extensive original research and interviews with some of the key participants, Jeremy Bowen uses his vast array of contacts to weave together a completely convincing and compelling account, hour by hour, of the 1967 war between Israel and Egypt, Jordan and Syria.

As insightful as the best modern hist
