title: Six Days in June: How Israel Won the 1967 Arab-Israeli War
author:  Eric Hammel 
description: In this highly readable popular history, Hammel ( Chosin ) maintains that the countdown for the Six-Day War began in July 1964, when Israel's completion of a system of canals and aqueducts to carry fresh water from the Sea of Galilee evoked fears in Arab neighbors that Israel was expecting an influx of settlers. Hammel argues convincingly that the 1967 war marked the finest performance of the Israel Defense Force, which in less than a week defeated the armies of Egypt, Jordan and Syria with a minimum of Israeli casualties. Pointing out that the IDF, unlike other military forces around the world, channels its best-educated conscripts into the combat arms rather than into the technical branches, Hammel illustrates the practical benefits of this policy with examples of imaginative improvisations by brigade- and squadron-level commanders during the 1967 war. With its emphasis on the David vs. Goliath aspects of the short decisive war, this proves a stirring tale. Jewish Book Club selection. <br />Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  The third of the Arab-Israeli wars was fought from June 5 to 10, 1967, and thus earned the name of 
  the "Six Day War". Combatants in the war were Israel against Syria, Jordan and Egypt. When the 
  war started in June 5, Israel was fighting on three fronts. Despite appearing cornered by its three 
  neighbours, Israel nevertheless made short work of the Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian air forces, 
  destroying them on the ground. Israeli armoured forces then pushed deep into the Sinai and 
  destroyed Egyptian resistance there by June 7. Because Syria had bombarded Israeli villages from 
  the Golan Heights earlier, on June 9 the Israeli ground and air forces attacked the Golan Heights, 
  capturing it the next day. Complete mastery of the air had proved decisive for Israel in winning the 
  war in such a short time.
