Six Days Of war Michael B. Oren RARE BOOKS $50.00 1ST/ED 2002 sbb 0195151747 Publishers Oxford University Press Hardcover DJ FIne446pp/illus/maps clean. Story of the Six-Day War in 1967 This is the most complete history to date of the Six Day War of 1967, in which Israel entered and began its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. While no account can be definitive until Arab archives open, Oren, a Princeton-trained senior fellow at Jerusalem"s Shalem Center who has served as director of Israel"s department of inter-religious affairs and as an adviser to Israel"s U.N. delegation, utilizes newly available archival sources and a spectrum of interviews with participants, including many Arabs, to fill gaps and correct misconceptions. Further, Six Days of War is an attack on "post-Zionism": the school of politics and history that casts Israel as the author of policies that intentionally promote the destuction of Palestine as a separate entity and of Palestinians as a people, not least through the occupation that began with the 1967 War
