Histoire
Israel is a tiny state, and yet it has captured the world's attention, aroused its imagination, and, lately, been the object of its opprobrium. Why does such a small country speak to so many global concerns? More pressingly: Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future? We cannot answer these questions until we understand Israel's people and the questions and conflicts, the hopes and desires, that have animated their conversations and actions.

Histoire
October 2023 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, a conflict that shaped the modern Middle East. The War was a trauma for Israel, a dangerous superpower showdown, and, following the oil embargo, a pivotal reordering of the global economic order. The Jewish State came shockingly close to defeat. After the war, Prime Minister Golda Meir resigned in disgrace, and a 9/11-style commission investigated the "debacle." But, argues Uri Kaufman, from the perspective of a half century, the War can be seen as a pivotal victory for Israel.

Histoire
This Pulitzer Prize-winning history of World War II chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of the Japanese empire, from the invasion of Manchuria and China to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Told from the Japanese perspective, The Rising Sun is, in the author’s words, "a factual saga of people caught up in the flood of the most overwhelming war of mankind, told as it happened - muddled, ennobling, disgraceful, frustrating, full of paradox."

Histoire
Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members - mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age.

How quickly it all changed...and how horrible it became.

Histoire
In Enemies and Neighbors, Ian Black, who has spent over three decades covering events in the Middle East and is currently a fellow at the London School of Economics, offers a major new history of the Arab-Zionist conflict from 1917 to today. Laying the historical groundwork in the final decades of the Ottoman Era, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in the Holy Land, Black draws on a wide range of sources - from declassified documents to oral histories to his own vivid on-the-ground reporting - to recreate the major milestones in the most polarizing conflict of the modern age from both sides.

Histoire
Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war—and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War, offers a definitive account of this conflict, its origins, course, and the already apparent and possible future consequences.

Histoire
The British Empire was the largest in all history: the nearest thing to global domination ever achieved. The world we know today is in large measure the product of Britain's age of empire. The global spread of capitalism, telecommunications, the English language, and the institutions of representative government - all these can be traced back to the extraordinary expansion of Britain's economy, population, and culture from the 17th century until the mid-20th. On a vast and vividly colored canvas, Empire shows how the British Empire acted as midwife to modernity.

The definitive account of Germany's malign transformation under Hitler's total rule and the implacable march to war. This magnificent second volume of Richard J. Evans's three-volume history of Nazi Germany was hailed by Benjamin Schwartz of The Atlantic Monthly as "the definitive English-language account... gripping and precise." It chronicles the incredible story of Germany's radical reshaping under Nazi rule.

Histoire
Evans interweaves a broad narrative of the war’s progress with viscerally affecting personal testimony from a wide range of people - from generals to front-line soldiers, from Hitler Youth activists to middle-class housewives. The Third Reich at War lays bare the dynamics of a nation more deeply immersed in war than any society before or since. Fresh insights into the conflict’s great events are here, from the invasion of Poland to the Battle of Stalingrad to Hitler’s suicide in the bunker.

Incredibly riveting and detailed account
While listening one gets the sense you're an invisible observer and listener privy to decisions affected by individuals and nations. Astoundingly detailed to the point one wonders, how did the writer find such information? Lastly, and this is just a personal opinion, it left me filled with wonder at how over and over again, for thousands if years, such a persected and hated people and nation has always risen again out of the ashes. There can only be one explanation.

Well written and entertaining
The research completed to write this book must have taken years. Impressive amount of detail. On the longer/heavier side (not necessarily a pro or a con). The book takes its time to the stage properly, but the extra time adds value/appreciation to the main 6 days. The reader speaks quickly and I found the names and locations can be difficult to remember. This was the first audio book I slowed down the reading speed for, to 0.8, to ensure I properly soaked up the details. Found it hard to ‘put down’. 5 stars. Would rec’d.

Detailed look at the Six Days War
Excellent book, thoroughly researched, and fascinating. A deep dive into the global politics surrounding the conflict. The narrator is excellent, one of my favourites.

Fantastic Piece
A wonderful work that gives you an unbiased 360 view of the events that led to the Six Days War! I've read this book four times already within a year. It is a mesmerizing overview of one of the most important events in Israel's history! Robert Whitfield's narration just takes it to the next level. If you haven't read this yet - get the audible version first and then buy the book!

Well written and well read. A comprehensive recap of the lead up and events of June 1967.
An excellent recap of just one of the many violent interactions between Israel and the rest of the Middle East.

Good non-partisan narrative
An easy historical listen, with just enough voice variance to keep it from being a mere recitation of facts.

Good, but VERY thorough!
Israel and the Middle East is something I've always been somewhat interested in. So, when I saw this, I thought I'd give it a try. I would recommend this book for anyone with more than a passing interest in history/the Middle East. It would also be useful for anyone needed a reference for a history paper on Israel/the Middle East. It is well written, thorough and tells the story from differing points, i.e. Arab, Israeli, with US and USSR points as well. The narrator does an excellent job. However, it is VERY, VERY thorough which can make it hard to follow and hard to listen to at certain times, especially if you are not overly familiar with the details of the conflict (or if this is your first time reading anything about the conflict - as was the case with me!). The portion about the actual war (I would guess approximately 1/3 or so of the book) is very good and exciting. However, the rest of the book deals with what led to the war and then some of the aftermath/post-war reaction. Those sections (especially pre-war) are very detailed. There are times when it is almost an hour-by-hour narrative of the events leading up to the war (or at least, day-by-day). To use the word/phrase of reviewer (of a different book), this book is very "dense". If you want a significant amount of detail on the Six Day War, this book is for you. If you looking for something that details the fighting alone or more of an overview, then I would recommend a different book (or at least skip (approximately) the first 10 or 11 hours of this book!).
