Why did the Soviet Union spark war in 1967 between Israel and the
Arab states by falsely informing Syria and Egypt that Israel was
massing troops on the Syrian border? Based on newly available
archival sources, "The Soviet Union and the June 1967 Six Day War"
answers this controversial question more fully than ever before.
Directly opposing the thesis of the recently published "Foxbats
over Dimona" by Isabella Ginor and Gideon Remez, the contributors
to this volume argue that Moscow had absolutely no intention of
starting a war. The Soviet Union's reason for involvement in the
region had more to do with enhancing its own status as a Cold War
power than any desire for particular outcomes for Syria and Egypt.
In addition to assessing Soviet involvement in the June 1967
Arab-Israeli Six Day War, this book covers the USSR's relations
with Syria and Egypt, Soviet aims, U.S. and Israeli perceptions of
Soviet involvement, Soviet intervention in the Egyptian-Israeli War
of Attrition (1969-70), and the impact of the conflicts on
Soviet-Jewish attitudes. This book as a whole demonstrates how the
Soviet Union's actions gave little consideration to the long- or
mid-term consequences of their policy, and how firing the first
shot compelled them to react to events.
