“This is how history should be written. [Clifford] Irving makes not only the battles, but the issues and the warriors, spring to life.”
— Robert C. Goldston, International Herald Tribune

A short and spellbinding book about the Six-Day War of June 1967, in which Israel fought for its life for the third time in its brief history – and won a decisive victory against overwhelming odds. The author was there as a correspondent for NBC-TV, became a friend of Israeli soldiers and pilots, witnessed part of the battle for the Golan Heights, and traveled post-war to the Suez Canal in a command car with Irwin Shaw, Jules Dassin, and Martha Gellhorn.

Illustrated with rare and moving photographs of the battles, plus clear maps.
