Perspectives on Modern World History

This volume explores the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel and several neighboring Arab nations. Readers are offered background information on the events leading up and during the war, as well as varying views on the controversies surrounding the war and its aftermath. Readers will evaluate whether Israel should hold on to the post-1967 borders and the impact of the postwar occupations. Personal narratives come from Israeli, Palestinian, and other perspectives, allowing readers to develop opinions from the words of those who experienced it themselves.
