A fascinating insight into the Six-Day War by the renowned historian and military expert, Glubb Pasha.
About the Book
This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the Arab-Israeli conflict, which continues to shape the Middle East today.
Lieutenant-General Sir John Bagot Glubb, better known as Glubb Pasha, spent decades of his life in the Middle East. He first served with the British Army in the aftermath of the First World War and later as the commander of the Jordanian Arab Legion. In his later years, he devoted himself to studying the region and writing extensively about its history. Few were better qualified to analyse the Middle East when the Six-Day War erupted between Israel and its neighbouring Arab states in 1967.
This concise book offers a snapshot of Glubb’s thoughts just months after the war began and ended. It provides insight into the fighting itself and places it within its broader international and historical context. Glubb highlights how the fates of geographically distant countries — such as Russia, Britain, and the United States — were deeply intertwined with the Middle East, both commercially and militarily. In 1967, he called for peace, but tragically, the world did not heed his warning, and the region remains mired in conflict in the twenty-first century.
