In May 1967, Egypt expelled the United Nations
peacekeeping forces stationed in the Sinai desert and deployed its army
along its border with Israel, its moves coordinated with those of
Jordan and Syria. By June, Israel realized that the international
community would not act, and so it launched a pre-emptive strike
against the combined Arab forces. The ensuing Six Day War was a
crushing defeat for the Arab world, one that tripled the area
controlled by Israel and which sowed the seeds for the Yom Kippur War
of 1973 and the continuing strife in the region. Written by the author
of Osprey’s Yom Kippur War, this volume covers the background to the
war and the campaign against the Egyptians in the Sinai Peninsula,
including the initial devastating air assault that showed the world how
vital air supremacy was in modern combat.
