SynopsisFrom the bestselling author of Gates of Fire and Killing Rommel , the thrilling true story of one of the most unlikely and astonishing military victories in history. June 5, 1967. Israel is surrounded by enemies who want nothing less than her utter extinction. The Soviet-equipped Egyptian Army has massed a thousand tanks on the nation's southern border. Syrian heavy guns are shelling her from the north. To the east, Jordan and Iraq are moving mechanized brigades and fighter squadrons into position to attack. June 10, 1967. The Arab armies have been routed, their air forces totally destroyed. Israel's citizen-soldiers have seized the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the Golan Heights from Syria, East Jerusalem and the West Bank from Jordan. Moshe Dayan has entered the Lion's Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem to stand with the paratroopers who have liberated Judaism's holiest site--the Western Wall. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews with veterans of the war--fighter and helicopter pilots, tank commanders and Recon soldiers, paratroopers, as well as women soldiers, wives, and others--bestselling author Steven Pressfield tells the story of the Six Day War as you've never experienced it before.

Different from what you've experienced
This is a great read. While it tells the story of the Six Day War in chronological order,it carries the story forward with interviews and the recollections of those who were there. Tank and air commanders, student pilots in the fight, Dyan, Sharon and a paratrooper in the first group liberating the West Wall. All in all, a fascinating account of an incredible time. After reading it, I bought copies for a few friends and they, too, report it very hard to put down.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
