Review
'1967 offers a brilliant description of the Six Day War in its widest context. The crucial role of individual actors is deftly woven into the general picture, the description of the military events is enthralling. This is probably the best book on those most fateful days in the history of Israel and the Middle East' SAUL FRIEDLANDER, author of THE YEARS OF EXTERMINATION: NAZI GERMANY AND THE JEWS (1939-1945) *'Today we know that Israel's triumph in 1967 was a Pyrrhic victory. Tom Segev's 1967 makes that more clear than anything written on the subject . . . Segev documents this historic tragedy brilliantly, authoritatively, as no one has before.' AMOS ELON, HA'ARETZ 'Excellent book' LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS 'A riveting narrative . . . [that] offers a shrewd insight into the nation's psyche' THE ECONOMIST 'Despite the controversy, this left=wing journalist has emerged as one of the foremost historians of the [Israel/Palestine] region
Saul Friedlander, author of The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945
'Probably the best book on those most fateful days in the history
