Foxbats Over Dimona by Isabella Ginor
Fearing an imminent invasion, Israel launched a preemptive air attack on Egypt in June 1967 and it achieved such staggering devastation that in just six days the war was won and future of the Middle East was forever changed. This book provides an account of the Six-Day War. It investigates documents and testimonies from the former Soviet Union.
"'Here is a book that is truly revisionist, challenging what we thought we knew about the origins and conduct of the Six-Day War, Israel's crushing victory over Egypt, Jordan, and Syria 40 years agoThe exact role played by the Soviet Union has always been murky. The authors work their way through the murk, meticulously using every snippet of relevant information from an extraordinary range of sources.' Lawrence D. Freedman, Foreign Affairs (included in its list of outstanding new books). 'Ginor and Remez, an enterprising pair of Jerusalem researchers who have been trawling Soviet archives and double-agents, explain the war as a Kremlin plot gone wrong... It's a terrifying story, thoroughly sourced, and much of it is entirely new... If you want to grasp the background to tonight's 10 o'clock news, read this groundbreaking book.' Norman Lebrecht, Evening Standard"
As journalists for Israel’s leading broadcast and print media and as historical researchers, Isabella Ginor and Gideon Remez collaborated for 20 years to expose the extent of Soviet military involvement in the Middle East.
