Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East by Michael B. Oren

Oren gives us a history of The Six-Day War of 1967. The events leading up to the war bear a striking resemblance to what is happening now. This book and David Fromkin's The Peace to End all Peace are essential to an understanding of the modern middle east.
