Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. xiv, [2], 174, [2] pages. DJ has some wear and tears at the edges. Includes Preface and Acknowledgments. Contents Cairo: May 28 - June 2; and Tel Aviv: June 4 - June 9. The third Arab-Israeli war, fought in the first week of June 1967, is a classic example of the tragic theory of history at work. Roderick MacLeish takes us to both sides (he was personally involved on both before and during the war)--to Cairo, where the Arab sense of euphoria had made Nasser appear in Arab eyes as an invincible conqueror who had already won the battle the week before the war started, and to Israel, where the tough character of the remolded Jews reached a point at which the continuation of crisis could no longer be tolerated. MacLeish says that a war may have been in preparation "for ten years or a thousand years." The 1976 Arab-Israeli war had its origins in the rise and decline of the great Arab empire of the seventh century and in that ultimate moment of pre-Diasporic Jewish history, the time of King David. Roderick MacLeish (January 15, 1926 - July 1, 2006) was an American journalist and writer. Born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, he grew up in the Chicago suburbs and graduated from the University of Chicago. MacLeish was news director for WBZ radio in Boston in the early 1950s, then helped start the London and Washington, DC, bureaus of Westinghouse Broadcasting, where he was a chief commentator. He later was a commentator for CBS News, National Public Radio, and The Christian Science Monitor. His books include both nonfiction and fiction. MacLeish was the nephew of poet Archibald MacLeish. The third Arab-Israeli war, fought in the first week of June 1967, is a classic example of the tragic theory of history at work. Roderick MacLeish takes us to both sides (he was personally involved on both before and during the war)--to Cairo, where the Arab sense of euphoria had made Nasser appear in Arab eyes as an invincible conqueror who had already won the battle the week before the war started, and to Israel, where the tough character of the remolded Jews reached a point at which the continuation of crisis could no longer be tolerated. In this book, MacLeish says that a war may have been in preparation "for ten years or a thousand years." The 1976 Arab-Israeli war had its origins in the rise and decline of the great Arab empire of the seventh century, and in that ultimate moment of Pre-Diasporic Jewish history, the time of King David, when the warrior tribes commanded the world from the Judean hills. Everything that happened after these ultimate moments--the divisions and fading of Arab greatness and the savage history of the Diaspora--added to the inevitability of the third Arab-Israeli war. The Sun Stood Still sees the third Arab-Israeli war as a chapter in the story of two disparate cultures which collide--one to gain nothing more than a return to its status quo, and the other to lose the dreams which sustained it when the world about it had failed.
