Six Days of War
''Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East'' is a 2002 non-fiction book by American-born Israeli historian and Israeli ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, chronicling the events of the Six-Day War fought between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Widely praised by critics, the book won the ''Los Angeles Times'' Book Prize for history and spent seven weeks on the ''New York Times'' Best Seller list.
While researching the book, Oren utilized primary sources from Israel, the Arab world, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, much of which had only recently become available to scholars. Citing the breadth and depth of Oren's research and the lucidity of his writing, several reviews, including those of National Public Radio, ''Washington Post Book World'', the ''Philadelphia Inquirer'', and the ''Chicago Sun-Times'', described the book as the definitive account of the conflict.
A Hebrew translation of ''Six Days of War'' was made available in June 2007.
==Causes of the war==
Oren emphasizes that war was intended by neither side, rather, as with World War I, war resulted from an escalating series of events, some of them purely accidental. For example, in November 1966 three Israeli policemen were killed when they drove over a mine presumed to have been left by Palestinian fedayeen operating from Jordan (though likely sponsored by Syria). For unclear reasons, the usually efficient American ambassador to Israel allowed several days to pass before transmitting a condolence message from Jordan's King Hussein to Israel's prime minister. In the absence of a condolence message Israel retaliated, reasoning that although the Jordanian state was not behind the attack, the people of Jordan had offered shelter to the attackers - this became one of the series of episodes that led to war. Another example was the decision of the Israelis to refrain from parading armour in their 1967 independence day parade in Jerusalem: although this was designed to lessen tension as Jerusalem was divided by the 1949 armistice, it was actually interpreted as a sign that the Israelis were concentrating their armour for an attack on Syria 〔"Six Days of War" by Daniel Pipes, New York Post, June 4, 2002 http://www.danielpipes.org/415/michael-orens-six-days-of-war〕
