Why people recommend it

Six Days of War by Michael B. Oren is a critically acclaimed historical account detailing the events of June 1967 and the making of the modern Middle East. The book received high praise on EconTalk, appearing across multiple episodes hosted by Russ Roberts. In a February 2024 episode titled Should Israel Depend on the US?, Russ Roberts explicitly recommended Michael Oren's book to his listeners, describing it as a superb treatment of the Six-Day War and praising the author's extensive body of work. Later, in a June 2022 episode titled Matti Friedman on Leonard Cohen and the Yom Kippur War, guest Matti Friedman also highlighted Oren's book alongside Abraham Rabinovich's work on the Yom Kippur War. Friedman endorsed both publications, characterizing them as fantastic historical accounts that provide deep and reliable insights into the complex military and political conflicts of the region. These repeated recommendations underscore the book's status as an essential and authoritative text for anyone seeking to understand the historical roots, military strategies, and geopolitical consequences of the 1967 war that profoundly reshaped the Middle East.
