Six-Day War: A History from Beginning to End (Palestine Israeli Conflict)
The State of Israel was founded in conflict, and in the first ten years of its existence, it was involved in two major wars with its Arab neighbors. The First Arab-Israeli War began almost the moment that the new state was announced in May 1948. Although it barely had time to create armed forces, somehow Israel survived a simultaneous invasion by armies from four Arab states during that conflict. In 1956, Israel found itself at war again, this time fighting alongside Britain and France, who had launched an invasion of Egypt after fears that the Suez Canal might be closed. While these wars demonstrated just how lethally effective the Israel Defence Forces were, they failed to bring lasting peace to the Middle East.
