New York : Metropolitan Books, 2007 x, 673 p., [16] p. of plates : ill., map ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [587]-642) and index From Israel's leading historian, a sweeping history of 1967--the war, what led up to it, what came after, and how it changed everything. Journalist Segev recounts the watershed year when six days of war reshaped the country and the entire region. Going far beyond a military account, Segev re-creates the crisis in Israel before 1967, showing how economic recession, a full grasp of the Holocaust's horrors, and the dire threats made by neighbor states combined to produce a climate of apocalypse. He depicts the country's bravado after its victory, an era of new possibilities and tragic missteps. He introduces Moshe Dayan, Golda Meir, Gamal Abdul Nasser, and Lyndon Johnson, and an epic cast of soldiers, lobbyists refugees, and settlers. He reveals Israel's intimacy with the White House and the political rivalries that sabotaged any chance of peace. Above all, describing a series of disastrous miscalculations, he challenges the view that the war was inevitable.--From publisher description I: Between Rishon Lezion and Manhattan -- Sussita days -- Other people -- II: Between Israel and Palestine -- Maps and dreams -- The Syrian syndrome -- III: The forty days of private Yehoshua Bar-Dayan -- Three weeks to war: what does Nasser want? -- Eleven days to war: Noa's father is waiting -- Ten days to war: what does America want? -- Nine days to war: a terrible situation -- One week to war: the generals' revolt -- Five days to war: the ouster -- Three days to war: the devision -- Day one -- Day two -- Day three -- The final days -- IV: They thought they had won -- A new land -- Victory albums -- The enlightened occupation -- Teddy's project -- Face-to-face with Ishmael -- The blunder -- Hawks and doves -- Starting over -- Absalom days Israel-Arab War, 1967 Israel Politics and government 20th century Sample text http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0730/2006047043-s.html 0 0 0 0 10000 10000 2019-09-04 73.00 0 DS127 .S44 2007 0000042374 2019-09-04 00:00:00 1 73.00 2019-09-04 OPEN VIRTUA40 58566 58572 VTLSSORT0080*0200*0201*0202*0203*0400*0900*1000*2450*2460*2461*2500*2600*3000*5040*5050*5200*6500*6510*8560*9991
