"The Seventh Day: Soldiers Talk About the Six-Day War," published by Penguin, is a collection of firsthand accounts from Israeli soldiers who fought in the 1967 Six-Day War. Unlike a traditional historical account, the book focuses on the individual experiences and perspectives of the soldiers, offering a raw and often emotionally charged look at the conflict. It likely delves into their motivations, fears, and the realities of combat, providing a more intimate and human perspective than official military histories might offer. The title, "The Seventh Day," suggests a focus not just on the fighting itself but also on the aftermath and the soldiers' reflections on the experience in the days following the intense six-day period. The book aims to give the reader a deeper understanding of the war through the eyes of those who participated directly in it.
