As one reviewer said of this work, “Why aren’t more books about war written this way?” There are other books you’ll want to read about the Six Day War for a broader and more balanced perspective. This one, however, gets inside the tank, plane or company of foot soldiers and tells the story from the men who fought the battle for Israel. It’s a page-turner, for sure!
