1967: Israel, the War, and the Year That Transformed the Middle East de Tom Segev

1967: Israel, the War, and the Year That Transformed the Middle East

Autor Tom Segev Traducere de Jessica Cohen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2008

"A marvelous achievement . . . Anyone curious about the extraordinary six days of Arab-Israeli war will learn much from it." "The Economist"

Tom Segev's acclaimed "One Palestine, Complete" and "The Seventh Million" overturned accepted views of the history of Israel. Now, in "1967," he brings his masterful skills to 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 apocalyptic climate in Israel before the war as well as the country's bravado after its victory. He introduces the legendary figures Moshe Dayan, Golda Meir, Gamal Abdel Nasser, and Lyndon Johnson and an epic cast of soldiers, lobbyists, refugees, and settlers. He reveals as never before Israel's intimacy with the White House, and the political rivalries that sabotaged any chance of peace. Above all, Segev challenges the view that the war was inevitable, showing that behind the bloodshed was a series of disastrous miscalculations.

Vibrant and original, "1967" is sure to stand as the definitive account of that pivotal year."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
1967 did not mark the beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but it was a year that changed the course of history. When Egypt's President Nasser closed the straits of Tiran to Israeli navigation, it triggered a conflict between Israel and the armies of Jordan, Syria and Egypt. Within six days the Israelis had occupied territories three times wider than their own, populated by over a million Palestinian Arabs.

Israel suddenly became something of a colonial empire, more Goliath than David. The war granted political legitimacy to Menachem Begin's right-wing Herut party, and Arab terrorism paved the way for Israel's secret service to become a major factor in the country's power structure.

1967 will not be a military history, nor will it focus mainly on political developments. The year 1967 dramatically altered the lives of millions of individuals and this book will focus on the personal stories from both sides of the conflict.

Recenzii

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
*'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
