Reader comment on item: [Michael Oren's] "Six Days of War"

Submitted by Neal R. Heller (United States), Jun 24, 2002 at 11:09

Having just read Six Days of War, I was astounded by the brilliant account of Mr. Oren. It is so comprehensive that one feels as if one was in the room where planning and strategy was being discussed by all sides.Of course, there wasn't much strategy being discussed in Egypt. I felt a certain fear as if I did not know the outcome as Oren was able to set the events in motion before, during and after the fighting. I wonder,is there as definitive an account of the 1973 war available?
