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 . . .
