BTW, long interesting review of "The Six day War" at the "New Republic" by Tony Judt, who lived in Israel in the '60s. Even though you read the book, I would suggest you take a look at it. It is more a "Memoir" of his experiences, and fills in a lot of cracks.

Interesting, but not a review, and aggravating, because it purports to be a review. First Judt gives a long summation of his own version of events, which differs at several significant points from Orens' (he doesn't mention Orens' account at all), then inserts about four paragraphs of a tossaway review -- very good, probably even definitive, but doesn't give the lessons of the war -- then proceeds to a long sermon of his own ideas of the lessons of the Six Day War. Aargh. Where did I get the silly idea that a book review should review the book?
